Muzeum Lubuskie im. Jana Dekerta w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim, Regional history museum in Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland.
Muzeum Lubuskie occupies a former industrialist's villa built between 1903 and 1904 in eclectic style with neo-baroque details. The institution operates from four separate locations: the main villa with its gardens, a granary building, a settlement museum at Santok, and a traditional mill complex in Bogdaniec.
The museum was founded on September 8, 1945, making it the oldest institution of its kind in the Lubuskie region. It was established to collect and preserve artifacts from territories recovered after World War II.
The collections display European sculptures and paintings by Polish artists that reflect regional artistic tastes across different periods. Walking through the galleries, you encounter works showing how artistic styles developed and changed over time in this part of Europe.
The museum spreads across several locations, with some branches located outside the city center, so it helps to plan which ones you want to visit. The main villa's grounds and various outbuildings are accessible on foot if you allow time for exploration.
The museum grounds contain a botanical garden planted with some 150 species of trees and shrubs, including plane trees and oaks, making the property a green retreat. This extensive plant collection has been cultivated over decades and offers visitors a quiet place to walk alongside viewing art.
