General Info

One of the most visited rooms is the Ignace Paderewski Room which was started around June 1941 through generous donations from his sister Antonina Paderewski Wilkonska. The room includes items also donated from the Buckingham Hotel in New York City where Paderewski spent the last months of his life. The room was officially opened to the public on November 3, 1941. Many believe that the museum and in particular the Paderewski Room is haunted, perhaps by Paderewski himself
