Description

The main seat of the Museum of Warmia and Masuria in Olsztyn is the Castle of the Warmian Chapter.

The Museum of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn was founded in 1945. The seat is a 14th-century gothic castle, built for the administrator of the estate of the Warmian Chapter.

In the years 1516-1521, this function was performed by Nicolaus Copernicus. To this day, on the wall of the cloister, there remained a unique souvenir after his stay - a hand-made experimental astronomical board, and in the Library's collection there is a medical incunable that he used.

The museum collects memorabilia of the past of the region in the field of archeology, history and numismatics, old and modern art, artistic craft, literature and folk culture.

The unique nature of the collections is made, among others collections: Gothic sculptures, religious paintings of Warmia, a portrait of the Dutch, convivial and bell-making products, contemporary graphics.
