Napoleon Museum

Local name: Muzeum Napoleońskie

The Napoleonic Wars Museum is the only museum in Poland dedicated to the Napoleonic Age. It is located in the building of the 18th century manor house. In the exhibition halls you can see, among others, a private collection of over 10,000 figurines of soldiers fighting in Napoleonic times, two large dioramas presenting famous battles and the death mask of Napoleon and his hair.

Two large dioramas bring visitors closer to the battle of Raszyn and Waterloo. There are over half of the collected figurines on them. Others, presenting the formations of various armies from those years, were placed in showcases. On the walls hang graphics and paintings related to the Napoleonic armies. In addition, you can see a collection of documents, uniforms, porcelain, coins and a rich collection of period books. The idea of the establishment of the institution was to show the contribution of Poles to the fight for independence under the command of Napoleon.
