Ossolineum Library building in Wroclaw
About
A magnificent building executed in the classic architectural style, which houses the modern library of Wrocław city. The history of the "Ossolineum" has its roots in the city of Lviv, where Count Ossolinsky established a book fund that was continuously supplemented with collections from well-known individuals. Later, the majority of the books moved to Wrocław, which did not prevent the council of Lviv from establishing the Vasyl Stefanyk National Library on its territory, known as the third largest in all of Ukraine.

Przepiękne fasady budynku. Wnętrza też imponujące. Jest to jedna z najstarszych i największych bibliotek naukowych w kraju, prowadzi działalność naukową i wydawniczą. Jest to jeden z najważniejszych i najstarszych ośrodków kultury polskiej, o czym decydują przede wszystkim bogate zbiory biblioteczne, obejmujące ważne dla kultury polskiej starodruki (m.in. De revolutionibus... Mikołaja Kopernika z 1543 r. czy Pieśni Jana Kochanowskiego z 1586 r.) i rękopisy, w tym m.in. rękopis poematu Pan Tadeusz (1834) Adama Mickiewicza. W 2023 roku do Ossolineum trafiło dzieło barokowego artysty Alessandro Turchiego Madonna z dzieciątkiem. Obraz zaginął w czasie wojny, po latach odnalazł się w Japonii, skąd trafił do Wrocławia. Siedziba Zakładu pierwotnie znajdowała się we Lwowie. Źródłem utrzymania były dochody z majątków ziemskich fundatora Józefa Maksymiliana Ossolińskiego, zarządzanych przez dożywotnich kuratorów. Po wysiedleniu Polaków ze Lwowa i odłączeniu miasta od Polski w 1945 Ossolineum, jako zakład wraz z ok. jedną trzecią jego zasobów[2], zostało przeniesione do Wrocławia.

Meraviglioso giardino.

Serdecznie polecam 😊
