Minister announces: A Museum of World War I will be established in Gorlice

The Polish Ministry of Culture announced the establishment of a new museum in Gorlice dedicated to the Eastern Front of World War I, commemorating the Battle of Gorlice. This institution will honor the soldiers who fought and died in the region, including many Poles. The museum aims to connect local memory with a broader European perspective, addressing the often-overlooked Eastern Front narratives. It will feature original artifacts, a reading room, and educational programs for schools. The initiative was formalized with a letter of intent signed by Minister Marta Cienkowska and Gorlice's mayor, with plans for further collaboration by mid-2027.
