Muzeum of Jan Kasprowicz in Inowrocław

This museum honors Jan Kasprowicz, a celebrated Polish poet, through displays of manuscripts, letters, personal belongings, and portrait series showing different artistic interpretations of his likeness. The collection documents his life and work through objects and written records from various periods.

The museum was founded in 1959 and received its initial collection from the poet's daughters, Janina Małczyńska and Anna Jarocka, who donated their father's belongings. This gift established the foundation for documenting his literary contributions and personal history.

The museum houses the Harendziańska library collection with works on Polish poetry and literature, reflecting how this poet shaped the intellectual life of his era.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs, with regular updates about exhibition schedules on its official website. It helps to check opening hours ahead of your visit to ensure the museum is accessible when you plan to go.

The collection includes the only known painting created by Jan Kasprowicz himself, along with his Zakopane coat and a monogrammed walking cane. These personal objects reveal a different side of the poet beyond his written works.
