The Konin Regional Museum is located in the 15th century Castle in Gosławice. A part of it is also the ethnographic open-air museum located nearby, a granary, in which the remains of a prehistoric forest elephant are presented, and in the manor house, where the appearance of a noble residence from the 19th century was recreated. The museum has interesting collections about the history of Konin land and its archeology, a large collection of jewelry and art objects as well as oil llamas and other lighting sources.
The museum was created from the transformation of the regional souvenirs room run by the local PTTK. His headquarters is the castle built by Andrzej Łaskrz, standing on a sandy foothill on Lake Gosławickie. In the main building of the museum there are permanent exhibitions devoted to the history and prehistory of Konin and its surroundings, Polish art from the 19th and 20th centuries, jewelry and handicrafts from the period from classicism to art deco, as well as various types of lighting used in the past. There is also a collection of Judaica, which is complemented by Jewish tombstones exhibited in the yard by the castle wall.
The museum also has a granary, where you can see the remains of a prehistoric forest elephant discovered in the coal mine. The exhibitions here also show other prehistoric findings from around Konin and the mining traditions of the region. In the nearby manor house, the appearance of a noble house was reconstructed, while a small open-air museum shows how the inhabitants of Podkonian villages lived.
