Which find sites are represented in the collection?
The provenance details reveal a broad range: finds from prehistoric settlements and burial grounds sit alongside objects from the medieval hillfort of Łysa Góra and the former monastery of the Canons Regular in Błonie. You can therefore explore the collection by archaeological context: settlement and burial offer a different perspective from finds associated with a hillfort or monastery. This distinction provides a clear way into the exhibits before you focus on any single object.
Which individual objects stand out?
One striking item is a fragment of a vessel from the 13th century. Its sculpted head depicts a bearded man, and the fragment is considered unique in Poland. Two other examples illustrate different types of objects: a neck ring of the Jastorf culture and a Prague groschen of Wenceslaus II dated 1300–1305. A vessel fragment, a neck ring, and a coin are thus presented alongside one another, so the selection is not defined by a single exhibit alone. The dating is also given with different levels of precision: the vessel is dated by century, while the groschen is dated to the period from 1300 to 1305. If you are interested in archaeological finds and historical objects, these specific items offer distinct points of connection to the collection.
