In the years 1929—31, three autonomous institutions grew out
of the Art and Science Museum in Lodz, which had been
established in 1911: the Municipal Museum of History and
Art, the Municipal Museum of Natural History, and the
Municipal Ethnographic Museum (with a department of
archaeology).
Until 1939, in the archaeological department of the Municipal
Ethnographic Museum, the most numerous items were reiics
of Lusatian culture from the 4th period of the Bronze Age
and from the Hallstatt period, relics of the culture of "cloche"
graves from the Hallstatt period, and of Venedian cuiture —
from the late La Tene period to the Roman period.
The ethnographic department had interesting collections from
Africa, Oceania and South America. The Museum also
possessed a few minor hoards of Roman coins. During the
Nazi occupation, the archaeological collection was largely
devastated; what was saved consisted mainly of what the
invaders considered to be relics of Germanic cultures. The
ethnographic collection was stripped by the invaders of the
exotic exhibits and of a large part of specimens of Polish
folk culture.
The remaining collection eventually found a home in the
building at 14 Wolnosci Square. In 1945, the institution was
divided into the Municipal Prehistoric Museum and the
Municipal Ethnographic Museum. In 1947, the numismatic
section was organized; in addition to the very few items
from the old collection, it included large coilections of ancient
coins from Palestine and mediaeval coins from Poland.
After the State took over the Museum, it changed its name
to "The Lodz Archaeological Museum". In 1956, the collec-
tions of the Archaeological Museum and of the Ethnographic
Museum were merged into one institution called: the Lodz
Archaeoiogical and Ethnographic Museum. In the years
1959—63, a new building was erected, and the old one was
modernized.
