Kosciuszko Museum in Solothurn

In the Footsteps of Tadeusz Kościuszko

On Saturday, June 6, students from the Maria Skłodowska-Curie School of the Polish Embassy in Bern, based in Zurich, visited the Tadeusz Kościuszko Museum in Solothurn. There, they took part in a history lesson dedicated to the life and achievements of the military leader. The students learned many interesting facts about Tadeusz Kościuszko.

The subsequent route led through the city and its landmarks to Zuchwil, where the Polish memorial site preserves traces of Polish history: the Kościuszko monument, beneath which his internal organs are buried, the Polish Chapel, a stone bench made by interned soldiers, and Kościuszko Street.

We hope that this visit leaves a lasting impression.

We warmly invite other school classes to visit our museum.

Change in Leadership of the Kościuszko Society

On May 29, the general assembly of the Kościuszko Society took place.

During the meeting, a review of the activities of the Tadeusz Kościuszko Museum in Solothurn over the past year was presented, along with the objectives and projects planned for 2025. Members were also informed about ongoing plans and upcoming events.

Special thanks were extended to Mr. Remo Ankli, who served as president of the society for ten years.

Matthias Stricker, Government Councillor of the Canton of Solothurn, was elected as the new president of the society.

We wish the newly elected president every success, satisfaction, and a fruitful term of office for the benefit of both the society and the museum.
