History

Lublin Castle ZamekLubelski1.jpg
Lublin Castle

The history of the Lublin Museum dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, and is associated with Hieronim Łopaciński, a junior high school teacher and a correspondent of the Academy of Learning, amateur historian, ethnographer, bibliophile and lover of antiquity. [1] Thanks to his efforts in 1901, two exhibitions were organized in Lublin. [1]

The exhibition of art and antiquities was opened on June 4 in the former Dominican Monastery. [1] Approximately 4,000 exhibits were assembled – engravings, paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, documents, prints, manuscripts, excavated artefacts, guild artefacts, arms, coins, medals, stamps and maps. [1] The industrial and agricultural exhibition was opened on June 22 with ethnographic section where folk costumes, wooden products and ritual art were presented. [1]

In 1974, the premises of Lublin Castle were adapted for the needs of the District Museum in Lublin, established in 1950. [1] The permanent exhibitions of painting, decorative arts, armaments, archeological, ethnographic, and numismatic artefacts were opened. [1] In 1987 the museum was renamed the Lublin Museum. [1]

On 15 May 2020, the Lublin Museum was nationalized, and therefore officially promoted to the rank of a National Museum, seamlessly the ownership of museum was transferred from the local government (pol. Sejmik Województwa) and placed under the authority of Polish Ministry of Culture. [2]
