District Museum in Tarnów
The brick building was built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries in the Gothic style. Later it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. The town hall, which today is a branch of the District Museum in Tarnów, was intended for the Old Art Gallery. Several exhibitions can be seen in its historic halls. "In a robe and with a saber" - a permanent exhibition devoted to Polish noble culture. among others, a collection of Polish and oriental militaria with an impressive five-meter-long hussar copy. In the hunting armory, you can see firearms used for hunting and sport, as well as weapons for self-defense and duels. Most of the exhibits come from the collection of the Rzewuskis from their castle in Podhorce (now in Ukraine). The beautiful interiors of the town hall floor, in turn, house a gallery of Polish noble portraits, called Sarmatian portraits, from the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as Renaissance and Baroque furniture. People who are interested in porcelain and glass will appreciate the collection in the Council Hall, where products from the most famous manufactories of Western Europe and Poland are collected. The museum hosts scientific sessions and thematic lessons. #poland #museum

Town hall in Tarnów
The Town Hall in Tarnów - a historic building located in the middle of the Tarnów Market Square. One of the most characteristic buildings of the city and one of its symbols. Originally, it was the seat of the city council and the vogt-jury court. Since 1931, it has been the seat of the museum. The building is an example of Mannerist architecture growing out of the Renaissance. The town hall is located on the Renaissance Route in Lesser Poland. A joint exhibition of the Diocesan Museum and the City of Tarnów has opened in the halls of the town hall. Works of art, collections of libraries and archives from abandoned palaces and mansions were stored and secured there. The largest part was the collection from the Sanguszko Palace in Gumniska. In 2006, a "time capsule" was opened - a lead container placed in a sphere on the town hall tower in 1927, containing documents, banknotes and coins of the denominations used in that year. After the ball was renovated, a "shipment into the future" was put inside it. #poland #polandtravel #tower
