Summer at the Museum
As part of this year's "Summer at the Museum," visitors had the opportunity on August 24th to explore the museum's rooms for free, attend a guitar concert, and visit a book fair. The stands were dominated by publications about the life and work of Tadeusz Kościuszko – both in Polish and German. This offered a great opportunity to learn more about this remarkable figure and his impact on the history of Poland and other countries.
Among the available books were classic biographies as well as lesser-known studies and albums featuring unique photos and documents. Visitors included history enthusiasts, tourists, and families with children. The subtle sounds of the guitar created a special atmosphere in the museum's historic setting, encouraging discussions about cultural topics, thoughts, and perspectives.
The Kosciuszko Society, which looks after and manages the Kosciuszko Museum in Solothurn, received funding this year from the "Promotion, Archives, Libraries and Museums Outside the Country in 2024 Year" programme from the Minister for Culture and National Heritage. Completion of the work is planned for the second half of December. We thank the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage for their support!
