Muzeum Regionalne w Kozienicach, Local museum in Kozienice, Poland.
The Regional Museum in Kozienice occupies a preserved section of a palace complex and displays archaeological finds, ethnographic objects, and historical documents. The collections span multiple exhibitions that paint a picture of regional life across different periods.
The first museum in Kozienice opened in the 1930s in two rooms of the palace, which then housed the Kozienice starostwo and a gymnasium; its collections burned in a fire in September 1939. The present museum was re-established in 1970 as a community institution run by the Society of Friends of the Kozienice Land, which received the surviving palace outbuilding as its seat. It is named after the archaeologist Prof. Tomasz Mikocki (1954–2007).
The museum's permanent exhibitions include the Stanisław Westwalewicz Painting Gallery, showing works by Westwalewicz and artists such as Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz, Wacław Chodkowski, Fryderyk Klopfer, Wacław Kościanowski, Walery Eljasz-Radzikowski and Bogusław Lustyk. Another exhibition, "Trade and Beekeeping in the Kozienice Forest", presents regional crafts.
The museum occupies the surviving office wing (oficyna) of the 18th-century palace complex of King Stanisław August Poniatowski, at 5B Parkowa Street. It is open all year round except Mondays. Source accounts differ on admission: one states entry is free, another that there is a fee with free entry on Tuesdays, so check before visiting.
