TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
“ArtiSlavia. Slavic culture in Polish painting, drawing and graphics since the nineteenth century”
At the occasion of this exhibition we present paintings, drawings and graphics, including those found in books lent from over 80 museums and private collections. These are the fruits of the labour of several generations of Polish artists who took up or still take up the Slavic theme in their work.
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
"Archaeology of islands. Islands on the periphery of the early Piast monarchy"
"Archaeology of Islands. Islands on the periphery of the early Piast Monarchy"
The exhibition presents the results of research on seven islands in north-west Poland, conducted by the Institute of Archaeology of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. Islands, especially those on lakes, were an important place in the life of the early medieval Slavs. For this reason, they are extremely interesting!

PERMANENT EXHIBITION
"Beginnings of the Polish State"
Our main exhibition is devoted to the beginnings of Polish statehood. We feature artefacts (and their functional replicas) related to this topic, from all over Poland. The chronological exhibition covers the period from the beginning of the 10th century (i.e. before Mieszko I) to the 13th century.
PERMANENT EXHIBITION
"Piasts’ painted history"
The exhibition presents the 19th-century depictions of how the contemporary painters imagined the beginnings of the Polish state and the Piast dynasty. It contains original paintings, which show not only the images of Mieszko I or Bolesław the Brave, but also the most important events, including the legendary ones, associated with that era.
PERMANENT EXHIBITION
"Slavic motifs in art"
At this exhibition, we present the culture of our Slavic ancestors as seen through the eyes of artists from different eras. For centuries, they referred in their works to the culture of the early medieval Slavic region. The uniqueness of the exhibition is the fact, that from time to time we change the exhibits presented at it, and thus – we show different approaches to the subject.
PERMANENT EXHIBITION
"Ceramics from Gniezno"
The exhibition presents several hundred Romanesque ceramic tiles and later stove tiles (15th-19th century) from the area of Gniezno itself, and its surroundings. It is a part of our rich and unique collection of this kind – one of the largest collections in Europe.
MOBILE EXHIBITION
The legend of mother of kings
Was the mysterious daughter of Mieszko I and Dobrawa one of the most powerful women of her time? A queen of three countries? A mother of three kings? Including even Knut the Great - the ruler of both Scandinavia and England – who was one of the most important rulers of the early Middle Ages? These questions are answered by the mobile exhibition of the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State in Gniezno.
