Heritage interpretation
Being touched by a heritage site, considering how it relates to us, and how it can help to shape our common future – this is what distinguishes good heritage interpretation. Heritage interpretation takes place in various locations, such as protected areas, historic sites, zoos or museums. It is supported by a broad range of approaches from guided walks to sophisticated exhibitions. Many people working at heritage sites are good interpreters and can encourage good heritage interpretation even if they are not aware that it is an increasingly important profession.

The Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek
The idea of the Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek is to present the figure of Józef Piłsudski against a broad historical, cultural and social background, and to convey and popularise the values he represented – the idea of fighting for independence and working to build the state.
The Museum brings closer, restores and promotes the memory of the Marshal’s life, achievements and heritage through scientific, exhibition and publishing activities, as well as educational and social programs. It is a space where history and tradition inspire discussion of issues important and relevant to Poles. The museum collects relics and objects related to Józef Piłsudski, as well as the era in which he lived and worked. The collection covers the period from the January Uprising to the end of Piłsudski’s life, as well as testimonies to the memory of the Marshal, up to the present day.
The Museum is located in a forest park of four hectares. Three historic buildings and one modern one form a museum complex, the heart of which beats in the “Milusin” manor house, and the source of knowledge is located in the permanent exhibition in the new building.
