Muzeum Rolnictwa im. ks. Krzysztofa Kluka
The Museum of Agriculture named after Rev. Krzysztof Kluk was founded in 1962 on the initiative of the Ciechanowiec Friends’ Society. It is based in a mid-nineteenth-century palace and park complex, formerly the Starzeński family estate and rebuilt after wartime damage between 1966 and 1969. Its collections comprise more than 34,000 objects, including over 850 agricultural machines and tools, presented across 48 permanent exhibitions.
The Mazovian-Podlachian Open-Air Museum contains 57 historic wooden structures dating from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, arranged in three groups. Exhibitions cover rural architecture, agricultural technology, veterinary medicine, crop cultivation and animal husbandry, and herbal traditions. The museum is a cultural institution of the Podlaskie Voivodeship and organizes recurring events about regional heritage.
