We present search of the C-forbidden decays of positronium with the J-PET detector. J-PET is a first tomograph based on plastic scintillators and, due to large acceptance and high angular resolution, it is suitable for studies of various phenomena such as: discrete symmetries in decays of positronium atom or entangled states of photons as well as the medical imaging. In view of the C-symmetry test, the J-PET is used inter alia to determine the angular distribution of the three annihilation photons from positronium decay.
