Brama Poznania

Brama Poznania is a modern museum on Ostrów Tumski island with two connected buildings, one of which is a restored historical lock house. A footbridge over the Cybina River links the two structures together.

The museum opened in 2014 and stands on an island known as the birthplace of Polish statehood during the medieval period. The location marks a crucial point in the country's emergence and its early institutions.

The permanent exhibition explores the character of Ostrów Tumski through four thematic rooms that show different aspects of local history and identity. Visitors can see how this place has shaped the development of the city and its people.

Your visit is made easier with audio guides in multiple languages, and staff offer regular tours and workshops for different visitor groups. It helps to plan ahead if you want to take advantage of special programs for schools or families.

The complex uses a deliberately minimalist design that contrasts with the medieval structures around it, creating a modern bridge to old history. This architectural contrast helps visitors distinguish between the different time periods of the island.
