Museum of Nicolaus Copernicus

Local name: Muzeum Mikołaja Kopernika

Former Bishop's Palace in Frombork is a historic Gothic-Baroque-style building located in the south-eastern part of the Cathedral Hill. Today, there is the Nicolaus Copernicus Museum dedicated to the great astronomer and historian Frombork and the unique collection of stained glass.

Museum collections are home to almost 4,000 exhibits, including master astronomical organs, reconstructions, astronomical astronomical series, his works and manuscripts. Also attractive is the exhibition of stained glass fromborskie and braniewskie, where you can see reconstructed masterpieces of glass art, up to today, renewed and added to the collection.

At present the exhibition includes 60 reconstructed sacred stained glass windows of the 19th and 20th centuries. The building called the Bishop's Palace was partially burnt down in 1945, and was rebuilt only in the 1970's for the current museum. Ferber's palace owes its name to the owner, the Bishop of Warmia, who lived in this place during Nicolaus Copernicus.
