TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
Piast TOTAL WAR. Military in early Piast Poland
An exhibition devoted to the Polish military in its earliest period - during the formation of our state. It presented not only artefacts - mainly military ones, that is what was fought with, but also methods of fighting, the organization of the army, and the most important written sources related to this issue. It also talked about people who were part of the Piast Druzhina at that time.
The exhibition was open from
20.10.2019 till 21.06.2020.
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
"Połabian Slavs"
An exhibition about the history of the Polabians - the westernmost tribal group of the Slavs. Despite the fact that they significantly influenced the history of the beginnings of our country and, according to some theories, even contributed to the baptism of Mieszko I, little is said about them in our country. It is a pity, because they did create an extremely interesting culture, characteristic of the entire Western Slavic region.
The exhibition was open from
11.08.2019 till 08.03.2020.
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
"Musical culture at the beginning of the Polish state"

In addition to archaeological finds - remains of old instruments, we also showed their modern, fully functional replicas.
The exhibition was open from
17.02.2019 till 01.09.2019.
