Kashubian Cultural Institute & Polish Museum

"This place is a trip. I went to Winona with no intentions of going to the polish museum, but when we walked by and it was free admission we said "why not?" It is really cool because it isn't like a traditional museum. Everything is out in the open, not under glass or behind bars. Don't miss the upstairs! It seems like an afterthought to be honest. It's sort of a mismatch of religious items with many items sort of just piled here and there. It's like a hoarder with ADD put the whole thing together. Don't think for a second I'm saying this in a negative way. I loved it and will be back!"

"We were very excited about this museum and have driven 2+ hours each way TWICE and though the website says they're open both Mondays and Saturdays, they've been closed both times. Please post special closures on your website!"

"Lovely and helpful docents at this small museum with tons of artifacts from Poland and Winona. Items include maps, books, clothing, furniture, housewares, instruments/music, pottery, lace and more."

"The museum was much larger than anticipated and full of interesting Polish and Catholic artifacts detailing the rich history of the Winona region. The historian was friendly, kind, and gave me a wonderful tour."

"This place was so much more than we were expecting - including being greeted by Adam and Paul. They shared a great deal of information with us, and even personal stories of their own Polish families and experiences. The greatest point of interest for us was the amazing collection of Catholic church pieces and information, located on the top floor. I want to say we stayed a good two hours - there was so much to see. Will definitely stop in again next time we are in town. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Winona!"
