Regional Museum
The Regional Museum in Rzeszow comprises many departments of a regional, but not provincial character, in terms of the exhibits and the collection-keeping activities. The Archaeological Department looks after the sources which enable us to learn the earliest history of human beings and their culture. The items come mainly from excavation sites. Although many of these artefacts are of a unique character, all of them bear witness to the various settlement activities which began in the region during the Stone Age. It is the largest collection of archaeological items in the south-east of Poland.
The Historical Department collects various historical items (handicraft, everyday objects, weaponry coins, historical memorabilia) related to the history of the town and the region, as well as rich archives that include a large number of old photographs. This department also includes the Museum of the History of the Town of Rzeszow and the Underground Tourist Rout. The Arts Department looks after paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries and handicraft items which attest to the artistic traditions. When compared to the other areas of the museum, it is this departments collections that are of the most universal character. Collections are presented in permanent and temporary exhibitions (several of them are displayed every year). Individual artefacts are frequently subject to exchange programmes between museums, both in Poland and abroad. The Regional Museum in Rzeszow has earned respect not only from its visitors, but also from cirdes of professional art historians. Its reputation is proven by, inter alia, numerous awards and prizes won in consecutive editions of the 'Museum Event of he Year' a nationwide contest in Poland.
