Archdiocesean Museum

The Archdiocesean Museum, founded by Archbishop Florian Stablewski in 1898, is the oldest museum facility in Poznań. It is located in Ostrów Tumski, in the former Lubrański Academy.

The museum resides is the 1520’s building of the former Lubrański Academy. It presents religious art reflecting each individual era’s understanding of beauty – from the Middle Ages until the modern times. One of the museum’s assets is its Gothic art collection – the richest ensemble of sculptures and paintings from the 14th and 15th century in this part of Poland. Apart from the medieval art the museum holds a collection of modern Polish and European paintings, an interesting collection of textiles as well as silver and golden dishes (in Italian ‘argenterie’). What makes this exhibition unique and memorable are everyday objects, now unused and partially forgotten.
