The Tony Halik Explorers’ Museum found its home in a tenement house at ul. Franciszkańska 9/11, opening its doors to the public in 2003. The impulse for its creation was the gift of over 800 exhibits representing non-European cultures which the residents of Toruń received in 1999 from Elżbieta Dzikowska, a well-known explorer and journalist. The donated collection of artefacts was collected during numerous world travels undertaken by Elżbieta Dzikowska and her husband, Tony Halik. Every year, Elżbieta Dzikowska supports the Museum with valuable gifts in the form of ethnographic objects she brings from various distant parts of the world. For this reason, the relatively small area of the original museum exhibition soon became too restricted for further exhibition purposes. Acquisition of the neighbouring tenement house located at ul. Franciszkańska 9 made it possible to create an expanded modern exhibition space. Comprehensive modernization and adaptation works were carried out in the historic early-20th-century tenement house to make it fit to house the constantly growing collection of travel souvenirs and temporary expositions.
