Muzeum Okręgowe Ziemi Kaliskiej

The Muzeum Okręgowe Ziemi Kaliskiej is a regional museum in Kalisz housing exhibits spanning from prehistoric times to the present day. Its collections include archaeological discoveries, ethnographic materials, and historical objects from various periods of local history.

The museum was established in 1900 and preserves important finds from ancient settlements and the Piast period. Excavations from the medieval stronghold in Zawodzie form a particular focus, revealing insights into early settlement patterns in the region.

The museum holds collections gathered from expeditions by Stefan Szolc-Rogoziński and displays artifacts from across the region's history. A branch location at the Maria Dąbrowska manor house in Russów documents literary and cultural aspects important to local memory.

The museum is easily accessible on foot from the city center, with signage marking its location. Visitors should note that hours vary between weekdays and weekends, and some exhibition areas may have restricted access times during the day.

Behind the main building lies an outdoor archaeological exhibition featuring remains of medieval settlements and structures reconstructed from the early Piast period. This open-air area allows visitors to see how these historical sites were physically arranged.
