Museum of the National Anthem

Local name: Muzeum Hymnu Narodowego

The Museum of the Polish National Anthem has existed since 1978. Its most valuable collection is patriotic music, including the text "Mazurka Dabrowski", published in Paris in 1826. The Museum's seat is the manor house where in 1747 Jozef Rufin Wybicki was born. "Mazurka Dąbrowskiego".

The Museum presents exhibitions devoted to the characters and accomplishments of Józef Wybicki and the history of the Polish national anthem. Among the exhibits attention is drawn to a collection of nineteenth-century music boxes with the melody "Mazurka Dąbrowskiego". The interesting thing is that after setting some of the music boxes win a completely different melody, and only after some time they start playing the hymn. In this way, the forbidden patriotic song was forbidden during this partition.

A statue of Józef Wybicki and a monument "Orzeł Polski" (wings of a 5 m high bird are made of over 200 old koss) are displayed in the surrounding manor house. In the park grows 400-year-old oak, called Dębem Wybickiego. He received the title of Most Beautiful Tree 2012 in the Gaja Club competition.
