Abstract
From their beginnings, in the first quarter of the 19th century, the Polish regional museums today form a group of approximately 400 out of a total of some 550 museums in Poland. Over half of them opened between 1960 and 1985, and the majority have adopted a combined historical and artistic programme of activities. They are almost invariably housed in old, historic buildings adapted to new needs, and their collections of works of art, so badly stunted during the last dramatic centuries of Polish history, and especially by the ravages of World War II, are supplemented with folk art and archaeological finds. It is perhaps in great measure the huge losses of the last war which have encouraged Polish museums to exhibit their collections as well as possible, and also to take particular pains to seek out the best methods of attracting popular interest. This has inspired widespread educational activity, valued both by schools and adult visitors, and one of the regional museums which has passed through such a phase of intensive development is the Museum of Mazovia in Plock.
