Honoring Our Museologist | Województwo Kujawsko-Pomorskie

Taking care of the rich heritage of our region, gathering exhibits, preparing exhibitions, and conserving artifacts — thirteen employees of marshal’s cultural institutions received awards today (June 5) on the occasion of International Museum Day. The honored guests were congratulated during the ceremony at the Archaeological Museum in Biskupin by Dariusz Kurzawa, member of the Regional Executive-Board, and Jacek Woźny, Regional Parliament Councilor.

“Our museums are important centers that enable learning about art, science, ethnography, and archaeology. They are also places of fun, where we effectively ‘infect’ children, youth, adults, and seniors with knowledge. This is possible thanks to the dedication, creativity, and great passion of the employees of these institutions. I thank the museologist for their care of our region’s heritage,” said Marshal Piotr Całbecki.

Awards from the regional board were received by employees from four marshal’s cultural institutions:

Professor Maria Znamierowska-Prüffer Ethnographic Museum in Toruń,
The Museum of Kujawy and Dobrzyń Lands in Włocławek,
Archaeological Museum in Biskupin,
Kujawsko-Pomorskie Heritage Centre in Toruń (which also includes the Tuchola Forests Museum).

In 2023, employees of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Heritage Centre joined the museum community; one of its tasks is the establishment of the Sczaniecki Family Museum of the Gentry in Nawra.

Participants of the event also attended a lecture by Dr. Marek F. Jagodziński on discoveries in Truso and toured the exhibition “Truso – the Legend of the Baltic.”
