Polish Library in Paris, Research institute and cultural center on Île Saint-Louis, France
The Polish Library in Paris operates from a 17th-century mansion, containing over 220,000 volumes of books, documents, and historical archives about Polish heritage.
Founded in 1838 by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and other Polish emigrants after the November Uprising, the institution safeguarded Polish cultural treasures during political turmoil.
The building includes three dedicated museum spaces: the Salon Frederic Chopin, Adam Mickiewicz Museum, and Boleslaw Biegas Art Collection.
Researchers and visitors can access the reading room to study the extensive collection, which includes 50 incunables and thousands of rare manuscripts.
The collection contains the first edition of Nicolaus Copernicus works and 67 volumes of Jan Dlugosz Historiae Polonica from European historiography.
