Ossolineum collections in Lwów (Lviv)

The Ossolineum was founded in Lwów (Lviv) in 1817 and operated there until 1945, when Lwów (Lviv) became part of the Soviet Union. After the war, the Ossolineum was re-established in Wroclaw, but only about 30% of the pre-war collection was transferred to Wroclaw. You can read more about the history of the Ossolineum and our current cooperation with the institutions in Lviv on the Ossolineum website.
