Museum Mania!!!

Well our trip is sadly coming to an end. We have had so many amazing experiences here in Poland thanks to numerous Rotary and Rotaract Clubs. I hope to come back again someday.

From folk art at the Lublin Castle Museum
 I was able to visit over 20 museums throughout the country and have learned so much about Poland's rich culture and history. There are so many stories to tell and much more to learn.

and ethnographic museums in Torun and Olsztynek...

to contemporary art at MS and MS2 in Lodz 

and in Olsztyn.
From archaeology


at the museum in Wroclaw...

to astronomy in Torun


and Olsztyn.

 From devastation in Warsaw ...
to fostering creativity in Lodz.

It is obvious that Poland has an enduring spirit, a passion for enjoying life and people who really care about preserving and sharing all of these stories. We were lucky enough to be toured around musuems by conservators, facilities directors, educators and often to areas that are generally closed to the public. Thank you to all the people who took time out of their busy schedules to make this possible!
