The museum is very large, you can spend almost all day around it. The museum is located in two buildings. The old headquarters from 1904 shows on the ground floor the Polish Art Gallery 16-18 century with a unique collection of coffin portraits and the Gallery of Medieval Art. In the basement of the old building is a collection of the Roman imperial portrait unique in Polish collectionsand ancient art gallery. On the first floor there are collections of Western European painting, with the only painting by Claude Monet in Poland ''Beach in Pourville''. The new wing exhibits works of the Gallery of Polish Art since the time of enlightenment by the arts of romanticism, academism, impressionism, symbolism - including the largest collection of paintings by Jacek Malczewski in Poland - paintings by Olga Boznańska, Wojciech Weiss, Witold Wojtkiewicz, Stanisław Wyspiański, Leon Wyczółkowski, Piotr Potworowski, Władysław Podkowiński, Jan Matejko. Fantastic permanent exhibition. An amazing collection of paintings and sculptures from ancient times to the present day. Huge art collection, it is worth booking a few hours for sightseeing, because there is really something to watch. Free admission on Saturdays.

The St. Peter and Paul cathedral is built as a huge red bricks structure with 5 towers, 3 of them are " wounderfull copper ”Onion” towers with a "green" patina. Most impressive up close and from far away. Wonderful interior design with spectacular gilded designs, huge stained-glass windows and plenty of sculptures and decorations. Due to a tight schedule, we were unable to visit the basement floor, which contains ancient remains and tombs of several Polish kings and is highly recommended by all tour guides. Hope to visit again next time.

During my wife’s and me tour of Poznan Old Town Square and the surrounding streets, we reached Golebia Street, which houses one of the most amazing churches we have ever visited in the past, the Parish Church of St. Stanislaus (Fara Church). These sights are amazing and highly recommended. The Parish Church of St. Stanislaus church is amazing and stunning with wonderful designs and decoration both on its exterior and especially the richness of the interior space. Beautifully designed pillars, spectacular ceilings and plenty of spectacular elements in every corner and any direction you turn your eyes to. A site that must not be missed !!!

The palace in Rogalin was built in the years 1770-1776 for Kazimierz Raczyński, a royal writer, and then the staroste general of Greater Poland and the royal court marshal. The interiors of this late-baroque-classicist residence host a museum, focused on the history of the Raczyński aristocratic family. Behind the palace extends a French garden closing with a mound, from which formerly stretched the view in the direction of the Warta River. Surrounded by picturesque gardens and park land, the Palace of Rogalin is one of the most significant examples of Baroque architecture in Poland. In this 18th-century palace located 30 km south of Poznan you can also see the "London Cabinet" , which is full of tokens of remembrance : old furniture, family photos, London address book with the hand-written telephone number of Winston Churchill and many others taken from London, 8 Lennox Gardens, where Edward Bernard Raczynski, President of the Republic of Poland in Exile spent 26 years of his life. The exhibition also includes a coach house and Painting Gallery. The painting gallery located in the building from 1910 contains collections collected for forty years by Edward Raczyński . The gallery has in its collections the works of such artists as: Olga Boznanska, Julian Falat, Aleksander Gierymski, Jacek Malczewski , Jan Matejko , Leon Wyczolkowski, Stanisław Wyspianski, Albert Besnard, Maurice Chabas, and Paul Delaroche. After exploring the glorious gallery you can walk through the Palace’s landscaped park . It is one of Europe’s largest oak groups. Many of the trees are several hundred years old. The most famous three, however, of amazing circumferences, are those named after the legendary Slavic brothers. Those are Lech , Czech and Rus . The tour in the Palace interiors can be accompanied by a rented audio guide . The number of tickets for the day is limited. A beautiful place, a friendly staff. A very pleasant place for a family walk. Nearby there are quite a few parking spaces, both paid and free. Definitely worth visiting.

The Poznań Palm House is really beautiful. Moving from the room to the room feels the changing climate needed for specific species of plants. Palms, cactuses and tropical trees are impressive. In the middle there is a small café also called a palm tree where you can drink coffee and eat lunch. You can also look at ants but you have to see it yourself;) In addition to plants, the Palm House also has a substantial fish collection and you definitely have to see it! Great place for families with children.
