The mission of the Museum is to shed some light on the cultural heritage and history of the beginnings of the Polish State and the later fate of the region, as it was the cradle of our statehood; to present it to the contemporary generations and to preserve it for posterity.
Our work is to shape a citizen, who, knowing and respecting his own identity, with the ability to think critically, can understand the world around them better and who can consciously participate in the shaping of the future.
The collection of the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State in Gniezno includes about 20,000 archaeological, historical and artistic relics related to the early Middle Ages, or the history of Gniezno and its region. Early medieval finds constitute the most numerous group. The most valuable part of our collection are stove tiles from 15th to 19th centuries. Their collection is one of the biggest in Europe.
