Muzeum Narodowe Ziemi Przemyskiej, Przemyśl
Facts and practical information
National Museum of the Przemysl Region in Przemyśl - a museum in Przemyśl, founded in 1909 on the initiative of local social activists as the Museum of the Society of the Friends of Learning in Przemyśl. The ceremonial opening of the first exhibition took place on April 10, 1910. The core of the collection was a private collection of Kazimierz and Tadeusz Osiński and numerous donations from the society.
In 1921, after joining the Union of Historical and Artistic Museums in Poznan, it adopted the name The National Museum of Przemysl, reactivated in 1984.
During the interwar period, the institution struggled with financial and space problems, changing its location several times. In 1945 the Museum took over the collection of the Ukrainian 'Strywihor' Museum, which had been requisitioned by the Polish authorities. After World War II, in 1946, the institution also received the magnificent building of the Greek Catholic bishopric at 3 Czackiego Square.
In 2008, construction of a new building for the National Museum of the Przemysl Land was completed on the site where several dozen years ago there used to be Jewish buildings. The new building of the National Museum of the Przemysl Land, designed by KKM Kozień Architekci, was one of the Polish candidates for the 2009 Mies van der Rohe Award, a prestigious award given every two years by the Mies van der Rohe Foundation and the European Commission to the best European projects.
The museum's storehouses contain, among other things, extensive collections on Professor Rudolf Weigl's scientific work: elements of the institute's laboratory equipment, books and scientific journals with publications of scientific works and papers, photographs and newspapers with articles on Professor Weigl donated largely by Professor Stefan Krynski.
In May 2016, the Bunker Stage at the Museum's headquarters began its activities, presenting plays and concerts, meetings with artists, journalists and cultural people.
