from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sundays and holidays from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. The Museum is lodged in a building, offered by the
people of Poland in 1900 to Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846—1916),
one of Poland's most distinguished and most widely read
writers, winner of the Nobel Prize. The Museum was initiated
by the writer's son, Henryk Jozef, and daughter, Jadwiga
Korniiowicz, who donated the house and a two-hectare park
for this purpose.
The Museum, inaugurated in 1958, is of a biographical
character. Sienkiewicz's study and drawing room have been
reconstructed to the original appearance of the writer's times,
with original furniture and objects, including the writing
desk on which Ogmem i Mieczewt (With Fire and Sword) was
written, a pen and other things used by Sienkiewicz. In the
former dining room and living room are photographs,
commemorative medals, jubilee albums, scrolls of honour,
letters, memoirs and portraits. Exhibited in the hallway are
Sienkiewicz's works in foreign translations. It is planned to
arrange in further rooms exhibitions devoted to The Trtiogr/,
Qtto Vadts and Krzt/gact/ (The Teutonic Knights).
