The Malbork Castle Museum with the branches of the Castle in Kwidzyn and the Castle in Sztum
The Malbork Castle Museum was opened on January 1, 1961. Its main seat is the Teutonic castle in Malbork, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. The people who created and continue to develop this institution have gone through an extraordinary journey: from the reconstruction of the largest brick castle in the world, through challenging built of the collection and the search for thousands of works from the old collections, lost and scattered around the country after World War II, to the creation of a modern, educational and research institution, which manages three castles: in Malbork, Kwidzyn and Sztum.
