Pierwsza lokacja Muzeum w Grudziądzu w świetle źródeł archiwalnych

Journal Title: Rocznik Grudziądzki - Year 2015, Vol 23, Issue

Abstract

In 2014 the Museum in Grudziądz celebrated its 130 anniversary. The main attraction of celebrations was the opening of the temporary exibition in the Main Building entitled „Tajemnice klasztoru benedyktynek” („The mysteries of the monastery of Benedictine nuns”), which was accompanied by the publication. During the query that was conducted in order to prepare the publication, there were gathered some new data that shed light on the first location of Museum, founded in the period of the Prussian authority. It proves that for the past 53 years (since 1961 to 2014) the location was mistakenly indicated. It was believed that Museum was based in currently non-existing, destructed in 1945, cloister wing of the Palace of Abottess at Klasztorna 4. The founder of the first Museum in Grudziądz, which was succeeded by Rev. Dr Władysław Łęga Museum in Grudziądz, was the Society of Antiquities in Grudziądz (Graudenzer Altertums-Gesellschaft). The founding meeting took place in the hotel „Pod Złotym Lwem” (Goldenen Löwen) on November 24, 1883. Probably from the very beginning the founders of the Society, led by headmaster of Royal Gymnasium – Siegfried Anger – wanted to establish a Museum for the townspeople. Due to the lack of building, which would accommodate the Museum’s collections, The Society asked the town magistrate to help finding a suitable location. Soon after that, on January 4, 1884, the town magistrate submitted a letter granting the Society with a building at Klasztorna 5 (Nonnenstrasse 5) which was supposed to serve as a Museum building. Additionally, the Society received 100 marks.
