A Baroque palace at Rynok Square 10, rebuilt in the 1760s for Prince Stanislaw Lubomirski to a design by Jan de Witte. It housed the Austrian governors of Galicia (1772-1821) and later the Ukrainian Prosvita society; in 1941 the Act of Restoration of the Ukrainian State was proclaimed from its balcony. The building does not belong to the Lviv Historical Museum: it is a branch of the Museum of Ethnography and Artistic Crafts of the Institute of Ethnology (NAS of Ukraine), and since the 1970s it has held the Museum of Furniture and Porcelain - the only furniture museum in Ukraine. Its collection includes about 680 pieces of furniture from the 16th to early 20th century, over 11,000 items of porcelain, faience, majolica and art glass (Meissen, Vienna, Korets, Baranivka, Horodnytsia) and thousands of artistic metal objects. The Lviv Coffee Mining Manufacture occupies the ground floor.
