Adam Mickiewicz Museum, Polish poet museum in Ile Saint Louis, France
Description
The Adam Mickiewicz Museum sits within the Polish Library in Paris and displays personal items, manuscripts, letters, and documents from the Polish poet all in one room. The collection brings together written materials and artwork to show different aspects of his life and legacy.
History
The museum was founded in 1903 by Wladyslaw Mickiewicz to preserve the memory of his father, a major figure in Polish literature. This creation grew from efforts to keep Polish culture and writing traditions alive in Paris.
Culture
The room displays sculptures, lithographs, and watercolors created by David d'Angers that show how Polish writing influenced Paris in the 1800s. These artworks hang on the walls and reflect the artistic connections between two cultures during that period.
Practical
This space welcomes visitors Wednesday through Saturday between 2:15 PM and 6 PM and works best with smaller groups. Tours in French or Polish can be arranged in advance, so it is worth asking about options when planning your visit.
