Regional Museum in Wola Osowińska

The Regional Museum in Wola Osowińska, founded in 1977 by Wacław Tuwalski, is an important landmark on the cultural map of the region, showcasing the history and traditions of the local community. It was established on the initiative of the Regional Society, which collected exhibits illustrating the lives of the inhabitants of Wola Osowińska. The museum displays not only everyday objects but also recordings and accounts related to local culture and historical events, including World War II. The museum building, constructed between 1934 and 1935 as a school, holds significant architectural value, reflecting a spirit of community involvement, and its history is intertwined with many local institutions, such as the Gromada National Council and the Municipal Cultural Center. The museum exhibition consists of six thematic rooms, including those dedicated to weaving, historic kitchens, and local history. The museum is currently open to visitors free of charge, and its operations are supported by local donors. Twice a year, it hosts Demonstrations of Vanishing Trades and Skills, attracting both residents and tourists. The museum is maintained by local middle school students under the supervision of the president of the Regional Society. The museum not only preserves but also revitalizes the traditions and history of the region, making it an important educational and cultural hub for the local community.
