Museum of Warmia and Masuria, Regional museum in Olsztyn, Poland.
The Museum of Warmia and Masovia is housed in a Gothic castle building displaying archaeological discoveries, historical artifacts, and regional artworks throughout its rooms. The collections span multiple floors and document the region's development across different periods.
The museum grew from collections documenting the long history of the Warmia region from early settlements to modern times. The Gothic building itself is an important testimony to medieval architecture and reflects Olsztyn's strategic importance when it was founded.
The museum displays Gothic sculptures, Dutch portraits, and religious paintings from the Warmia region. The folk art collection spans different periods and reflects the local craftsmanship traditions.
The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday and features exhibitions spread across multiple floors of the castle building. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since stairs connect the different room levels.
The museum holds an original astronomical plate created by Nicolaus Copernicus in 1517, a rare document of his scientific work. This object connects the place to one of the Renaissance's greatest thinkers and gives it special importance in the history of science.
