Bolesław Prus Museum is a must-see location on the map of Nałęczów – it helps better understand the writer's figure and feel the atmosphere of the former spa, which was an inspiration for his work.
Bolesław Prus Museum in Nałęczów is the only biographical and literary museum devoted to the writer. It is housed in a building constructed in the Zakopane style called the Adam Żeromski Shelter. The building was designed by the renowned architect Jan Koszczyc-Witkiewicz. The name of the shelter is not accidental. Its founder was Stefan Żeromski. Bolesław Prus himself (real name Adam Głowacki) also contributed to its finishing.
The museum contains among others memorabilia and materials documenting the life and work of the writer, with special emphasis on his connections to Nałęczów and his native Lublin land. The exhibition is very interesting. We encourage you to visit and immerse yourself in the history of Polish writers.
