Muzeum im. Jana Dzierżona w Kluczborku, Regional museum and historic site in Kluczbork, Poland.
The Muzeum im. Jana Dzierżona w Kluczborku is a regional museum housed in a building constructed on the foundations of a former castle. The structure was once integrated into the defensive walls of Kluczbork town and now displays collections related to the area's history and heritage.
The museum was established in 1959 as a branch of the Opole Silesian Museum and received its status as an independent regional institution in 1962. The site itself connects to Kluczbork's past, as its building structure is rooted in the town's earlier military fortifications.
The museum is dedicated to Jan Dzierzon, a beekeeper whose work shaped modern beekeeping practices. Visitors can see objects and documents that show how beekeeping techniques changed over time.
The museum offers educational workshops for groups where visitors can participate in activities like beeswax candle making and clay modeling. Organized groups and school classes should inquire in advance to arrange their preferred hands-on sessions.
In front of the museum stands a pavilion displaying modern figurative beehives created by local artists and amateur sculptors. These artworks merge traditional craft techniques with contemporary artistic expression, creating a distinctive visual feature in the outdoor space.
