Jan Kochanowski Museum in Czarnolas
Jan Kochanowski was a poet of great stature. He wrote his works at royal courts, but his greatest pieces were created in a place he inherited from his parents, where he found peace and inspiration. It was Czarnolas that was a home and a beloved place for Kochanowski to create his great works.
PARK AROUND THE MUSEUM
The Jan Kochanowski Museum is located in a neoclassical building from the 19th century - the Jabłonowski manor. It consists of several rooms with exhibits dedicated to the poet. The museum is surrounded by a picturesque park with numerous attractions. Upon entering the park gate, there is a building for tickets and souvenirs. The main avenue leads from here to the museum building itself, as well as to a chapel located behind the museum and a pond, by which there is a boulder where Kochanowski often sat. There is also a small amphitheater in the park where performances and recitals take place. The museum was established in 1961 and was renovated in 2005. It is part of the District Museum in Radom.
