Stary Rynek 5/7, 99-400 Łowicz, woj. łódzkie
The museum is housed in the former building of the Missionaries' seminary, erected from 1689 according to the design of Tylman van Gameren (inaugurated in 1700). The history of the collections goes back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and the collection of Władysław Tarczyński, made public in 1905. Until 1995 the institution was a branch of the National Museum in Warsaw.
The collections number several thousand objects, mostly valuable ethnographic exhibits from the Duchy of Łowicz (the ethnographic department has around 8,000 objects). The most valuable is the collection of folk costumes from the 19th-20th centuries (the Łowicz striped costume) and Łowicz paper cut-outs (kodry, stars, spiders).
