Musejon for the Seventh Time
Museum professionals in our region organize numerous events, conferences, and educational workshops that promote the heritage of Kujawy and Pomorze. In recognition of their daily work and dedication, we will honor the best museum initiatives. Submissions for the Musejon Kujawsko-Pomorskie Museum Event of the Year competition are open until April 30.
“By awarding these prizes, we thank the staff of museum institutions for carrying out projects that present important parts of our history in a unique and engaging way,” says Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
Projects can be submitted in three categories:
- Exhibition (temporary and permanent exhibitions, presented both in museum facilities and in public spaces);
- Research and publishing activity (publications, including e-books and audiobooks, as well as conferences and completed research projects);
- Education and regional heritage (educational activities and initiatives promoting and popularizing the region’s heritage).
Projects may be submitted by museums or other entities engaged in museum-related activities, located in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region.
In each category, one main prize and two distinctions will be awarded. Winners will receive Musejon statuettes, designed and created by Sebastian Mikołajczak – a Toruń-based artist and a scholarship recipient of the Marshal of the Region.
Applications should be sent to:
Marshal’s Office of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region

Last year, the main prizes were awarded to the District Museum in Toruń for the project “Gingerbread Moulds in Polish Museum Collections. A Research Project” and to the Jan Kasprowicz Museum in Inowrocław for the project “Bear.” The honorary Musejon statuette was awarded to Maria Pokrzywnicka, a retired curator of the Maria Znamierowska-Prüfferowa Ethnographic Museum in Toruń and former head of its education department.
