Posthumous appreciations

Bishop Kubina was a collector of sacred art. Even during his lifetime he had the idea of ​​exhibiting his collection in a museum. Many of his collected paintings and sculptures have survived to this day - in 1998 the Museum of the Archdiocese of Czestochowa was opened in memory of him (Muzeum Archidiecezji Częstochowskiej im. Biskupa Teodora Kubiny), in which the preserved pieces are accessible to the public as part of a permanent exhibition.

A street was named after him in his hometown Świętochłowice.
