This article discusses different museum exhibitions and narratives related to John Paul II within Kraków’s cityspace. The cult of this recently canonized Catholic saint (2014) is very popular in Poland, particularly in Kraków, which is called the ‘Pope’s City’. The paper focuses on items-relics – objects that were used or touched by John Paul II – and are nowadays exhibited in various museums in Kraków. These material objects are a means of creating local stories about John Paul II and his sanctity. The author compares two sets of items exhibited in two different museums: The Cardinal Karol Wojtyła Room exhibited in the Saint John Paul II’s Centre and the Pope’s Helicopter exhibited in the Polish Aviation Museum. The analysis reveals diverse strategies and uses of objects-relics related to the museumification and sacralization of the figure of John Paul II.
