Polish Museum, Rapperswil, Museum of Poland in medieval castle of Rapperswil, Switzerland.
The Polish Museum occupies several rooms within Rapperswil Castle, displaying collections related to Polish history, art, and cultural heritage through exhibitions and artifacts.
Count Władysław Broel-Plater established the museum in 1870 as a sanctuary for Polish historical items during a period when Poland did not exist as an independent state.
The museum maintains a library of 20,000 volumes focused on Polish history and culture, making it a center for research and education in Switzerland.
From April through October, visitors can explore the museum daily between 13:00 and 17:00, while in March, November, and December, access is limited to weekends.
The museum experienced a significant transfer of its collections to Poland in 1927, requiring fourteen railroad cars to transport thousands of artifacts and publications.
