Regional Muzeum in Konin

Regional Muzeum in Konin, Regional museum in Konin, Poland

The Regional Museum in Konin is housed in a castle and displays archaeological discoveries, traditional objects, and contemporary artworks. The grounds also feature an open-air section with mining machinery and equipment that tells the story of the region's industrial past.

The museum grew from a regional memorabilia chamber set up in 1953 by PTTK members in shop premises at the corner of Wiosny Ludów and Gwoździarska streets. In 1956 it became the Regional Museum in a building on Słowackiego Street that had housed the "Moderne" cinema before the war. A state Museum of the Konin Basin followed in 1966, and after the 1975 reform the institution gained district museum status; since July 1982 it has been based in Gosławice.

The museum displays everyday objects that reflect local traditions, including jewelry and crafts that show how people in the region lived and worked. These items help visitors understand the customs and skills that shaped this community over time.

The main seat is Gosławice Castle, with the castle opened for use in 1986; the granary building's new exhibitions opened in 2010. The open-air sections lie apart from the castle: the ethnographic skansen has five structures on 0.5 ha, and the archaeological skansen in Mrówki is a reconstructed conical motte in forest beside Lake Kownackie. Allow time to move between them.

The museum holds one of the most complete skeletons of the forest elephant, a species that lived near present-day Konin, displayed in the exhibition "Słoń leśny" prepared with the Department of Palaeozoology of the University of Wrocław. Alongside it are bone remains of mammoths and rhinoceroses found in the area.
