Museum of Cieszyn Silesia, Regional museum in Cieszyn County, Poland.

The Museum of Cieszyn Silesia occupies a three-wing building constructed of brick and stone, featuring Baroque-neoclassical architectural elements throughout its structure.

Established in 1802 by Leopold Jan Szersznik, this institution stands as the oldest public museum in Poland and among the earliest in Central Europe.

The museum collections span multiple departments including archaeology, ethnography, and art, presenting artifacts from Roman coins to regional church decorations.

Visitors can access over 24,000 books in the Scientific Library, which includes rare incunabula and specialized resources for research in archaeology and art history.

The Egyptian Hall within the museum hosted Emperor Francis I and Tsar Alexander I in 1805 for concerts and celebrations during their diplomatic visits.
