One of the oldest public museums in Central Europe and the oldest public museum on Polish lands. Founded in 1802 by Rev. Leopold Jan Szersznik (1747-1814), who made his library and museum collections publicly available. It is housed in the Baroque-Classicist Larisch Palace (1790-1796).
The museum comprises nine departments: archaeology, ethnography, photography, history, cartography, art, technology, education and a scientific library (over 24,000 volumes and 370 old prints). The permanent exhibitions include, among others, "The Art of the Gothic and Renaissance" and "At the Crossroads of History and Cultures".
