Mikołajowski House, a gem of Renaissance architecture on Tarnow's Market Square, boasts a facade covered in intricate sgraffito patterns and a grand portal. Built in the 16th century for the Mikołajowski family, it now serves as a branch of the District Museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the life of a wealthy burgher. Inside, period rooms display original furnishings, painted ceilings, and a collection of historic artifacts.
