Centrum Edukacyjne Szklany Dom w Ciekotach, Educational museum in Masłów, Poland.
The Szklany Dom Educational Center in Ciekoty consists of two buildings: the Dworek Stefana Żeromskiego, a building styled after a late 19th-century noble manor, and the Szklany Dom Educational Center itself, which has rooms for temporary exhibitions, a performance hall, tourist information, bicycle rental and guest rooms. A summer amphitheater stands next to the buildings.
The center stands on the former Żeromski family estate, where Polish writer Stefan Żeromski spent his childhood between 1871 and 1883. This location held deep meaning for the author during his formative years.
The permanent exhibition displays portraits, photographs, antique furniture, and family objects from the National Museum in Kielce's collection. These items tell stories about family life during the 1800s.
The center is open every day except Mondays and operates year-round, so no seasonal schedule applies. Entry to the manor house is ticketed, while the Szklany Dom building houses the tourist information point and bicycle rental. The summer amphitheater next to the buildings hosts outdoor events.
The centre won first prize in the 2011 "Przyjazna Wieś" competition, organised by the National Rural Network and the Ministry of Agriculture, in the category for the best social infrastructure project in rural areas funded by EU money.
