About the museum
The Muzeum Regionalne w Wolsztynie was established in 1976 and brings together three institutions: the Muzeum Marcina Rożka (Marcin Rożek Museum), the Muzeum Dr. Roberta Kocha (Dr Robert Koch Museum) and the Skansen Budownictwa Ludowego Zachodniej Wielkopolski (Open-Air Museum of Folk Architecture of Western Greater Poland). The Muzeum Marcina Rożka is the main seat of the institution.
The Muzeum Marcina Rożka was established in 1968 on the basis of the private collections of Jadwiga Rożek, the sculptor’s sister. It is housed in a villa from 1934, built to the artist’s design, with a garden that once reached the shore of Lake Wolsztyn (jezioro Wolsztyńskie). Marcin Rożek (1885–1944), sculptor and professor at the Poznań School of Decorative Arts, died in KL Auschwitz.
The permanent exhibition presents Marcin Rożek’s artistic output and his life; temporary exhibitions are also shown in the rooms. The building also houses the museum’s administration and a specialist library. From September 2026 the branch is closed to visitors until further notice because of preparations for renovation.
