Diocesan Museum

Local name: Muzeum Diecezjalne

The collection of the Toruń Diocesan Museum is a valuable collection of sculptures, paintings, goldsmiths and other works of sacral art collected from churches around Toruń.

The exhibits come from a wide period of time, and the oldest ones were created in the Middle Ages and present the Gothic style. The exhibition presents chalices, monstrances, gothic sculptures, and paintings, among which the real pearl is the work of Jerzy Kossak, Miracle on the Vistula River and a copy of the Beautiful Toruń Madonna, lost during the last war.

The museum building in the Old Town is also attractive - a former bourgeois house with a history dating back to the Gothic period. The interior of the building has been carefully restored, keeping the old atmosphere with such accents as a sooty chimney in the corridor, a gothic washbasin, wall polychromies or a wooden ceiling.

The museum, founded by priest Andrzej Suski Bishop of Toruń, was opened in 2014.
