Museum of Industry and Agriculture

Museum of Industry and Agriculture, on Warsaw's Krakowskie Przedmieście

The Museum of Industry and Agriculture (Polish: Muzeum Przemysłu i Rolnictwa) is a former museum of technology and agriculture at 66, Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw, Poland.

## History[edit]

It was founded in 1866 on the initiative of Jan Tadeusz Lubomirski and was chartered on June 5 1875. Among its notable co-founders were philanthropists count Feliks Sobański, Józef Zamoyski, Karol Dittrich and Hipolit Wawelberg, the Polish-Jewish banker.[1] From 1881 it was located on Krakowskie Przedmieście in a former guardhouse and Bernardine monastery. It contained archives of the history of Polish industry, agriculture and crafts.[2] It ran temporary exhibitions and opened permanently to the public in 1905 but was destroyed in 1939 during World War II.

It housed a physics laboratory run by Józef Boguski where the future double Nobel laureate, Marie Curie, began her scientific career in 1890–91.[3]

After World War II, the work of the Museum was divided among three other institutions:

* The Museum of Industrial History in Opatówek
* The National Museum of Agriculture in Szreniawa
* Warsaw University of Life Sciences
