Description

For over 50 years, the regional museum has been featured on the cultural map of Olesno.

The main initiator of the creation of the museum facility in Olesno was the Association of Olesnica Land Lovers. The opening ceremony was made in the first Olesno Days on June 12, 1960. Initially, it functioned as an open-air exhibition of the Museum of Opole Silesia.

The institution received the name of Jan Nikodem Jaronia - upper Silesian lyric, playwright and plebiscite activist. The first manager of the Olesno museum, ethnographer Konrad Hanisch, created the foundations of the ethnographic collection. This resulted in the furnishing of the authentic interior of the rural Olesno chamber from the mid-nineteenth century. The socialist passion of the next director of the museum, Mrs Zofia Giaro, who has performed this function since 1965, contributed to the enlargement of museum collections and attractive temporary exhibitions.

From March 1974, the archaeologist Wojciech Łonak - a former employee of the Archeology Department of the Museum of Opole Silesia became the director of the facility. He conducted excavations, thanks to which the museum extended the archaeological department presenting exhibits from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages.

The 90s of the 20th century is a definite stagnation of the museum's activity. At the beginning of the new century, the city authorities decided to revitalize the museum in Olesno. In 2004, it was moved to a renovated 18th-century tenement house at ul. Jaronia 7. The building has been thoroughly restored and adapted to the needs of exhibitions. Since 2004, the institution has been called the Oleski Regional Museum.

A permanent exhibition presenting the history of the city of Olesno and a forest and hunting exhibition from the collection of the Forest District Olesno was arranged in the new premises. The museum organized many temporary exhibitions and Thursday Museum Meetings. In its building there is a Tourist Information Office and a souvenir shop.
