Ethnographic museum, Toruń, Ethnographic museum in Toruń, Poland.

The museum complex contains multiple buildings showcasing traditional Polish folk architecture, including farmhouses, a windmill, and a historical fire station across two hectares.

Founded in 1959 by Professor Maria Znamierowska-Prüfferowa, the museum became one of three independent ethnographic institutions in Poland dedicated to preserving cultural heritage.

The main exhibition 'Secrets of Everyday Life' presents the customs, clothing, and living conditions of Polish villagers between 1850 and 1950.

Located at Wały gen. Sikorskiego 19, the museum operates Tuesday through Sunday with varying seasonal hours and offers free admission every Wednesday.

The museum maintains an adjacent ethnographic park featuring a complete reconstruction of village farmyards from the late 19th century, including an original 1767 manor granary.
