Description

A Museum of the People’s Republic of Poland was founded in place of the Nowa Ruda Manor built in 1890 by the well-known German family von Ballestrem. After the war, the mansion was acquired by the State Treasury and transformed into a State Agricultural Farm [PGR].

On 4th  June, 2010, on the 21st anniversary of the first democratic election, the Museum of the People’s Republic of Poland opened with the exhibition “Starting from the end…”.

The main objective of the museum is to collect, preserve and present a wide range of materials concerning the period of Poland’s past from 1940s to 1980s.

 

Due to a large space it is possible to locate a film crew on the farm, which thanks to place’s charm will change into a film set.
