The Malbork Castle Museum was opened on January 1, 1961. Its main seat is the Teutonic castle in Malbork, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. The people who created and continue to develop this institution have gone through an extraordinary journey: from the reconstruction of the largest brick castle in the world, through challenging built of the collection and the search for thousands of works from the old collections, lost and scattered around the country after World War II, to the creation of a modern, educational and research institution, which manages three castles: in Malbork, Kwidzyn and Sztum. 

At the beginning of its activity, the Museum had only those objects from the former castle collections that survived the war and the wave of looters after 1945. In addition to architectural details, there were a few exhibits of medieval sculpture and pseudo-Gothic furniture from the late 19th century.

The museum exhibits include such valuable collections as, for example, the collection of medieval architectural elements, which is among the largest in Europe, a collection of artistic amber products, unique on a global scale, an impressive set of old weapons and armaments, or a rich collection of numismatics referring to the historic Malbork mints.

The result of the Museum’s involvement in the European cultural life was the International Biennale of Contemporary Exlibris organized from the early 1960s, introducing the castle into the orbit of high-ranking world artistic creativity. Continued to this day, it has become the oldest cyclical artistic event in Poland and the most serious manifestation of this field of graphics in the world. The Museum is widely known thanks to numerous exhibitions of amber masterpieces abroad; in recent years they have been exhibited in leading museums in Germany, Great Britain, Finland, Sweden, the USA and Japan.
