The article discusses the problem of the dampness detected in the walls of the Władysław Orkan Museum building in Rabka-Zdrój, where valuable exhibits from the Museum collection are stored. The building is located close to the Raba River that is probably causes the dampness in its walls. Because the building was fitted with an inappropriate damp proof course, fungal decay appeared in the Museum spaces, becoming a threat to its exhibits and making safe occupancy impossible. In view of the above, the Museum management commissioned a building assessment report to determine its structural system state including microbiological tests to provide an in-depth diagnosis of the fungal decay problem. This was necessary for developing programme on renovating the building to make it safe again for both occupants and the exhibits stored at risk of severe damage.
