Silesian Museum in Görlitz

The Silesian Museum in Görlitz, known as Schlesisches Museum zu Görlitz, was opened on May 13, 2006, and is housed in the historic buildings of Schönhof, Mittelhaus, and Hallenhaus, located at the Fish Market and Lower Market Square. The architecture of the complex enchants with historical elements that reflect the character of Silesian towns, while contemporary exhibitions introduce modernity into the historic spaces. The museum focuses on presenting artistic craftsmanship and works of art from the Silesian region, highlighting the area's rich cultural heritage. The exhibition is bilingual, allowing both German and Polish visitors to easily understand the presented content. The museum is funded by the Stiftung Schlesisches Museum zu Görlitz foundation, which provides a stable source of support. An interesting fact is that the museum not only documents local culture but also serves as a platform for dialogue between different traditions and histories, with an emphasis on Polish-German cooperation.
