Ogniwo Polish Museum is the only one of its kind in Canada, collecting and preserving artefacts, archives, and library materials according to professional standards while making the stories and cultural traditions of the Polish community accessible to the public.
The Ogniwo Polish Museum Society Inc. was incorporated in 1985 by members of the Polish Canadian Women’s Federation Branch #7. Fundraising efforts enabled the Federation to purchase a building at 1417 Main Street in Winnipeg, which became the home of the Museum. Since its founding, Ogniwo Polish Museum has delivered on its mandate of hosting exhibits, lectures, and workshops, and acquiring and preserving donations of objects and records, to tell the story of Polish immigration and contributions to Canadian society.
Ogniwo Polish Museum has grown surely and steadily thanks to the support of its community and the efforts and dedication of its volunteers. Forty years on, the Museum has reached maximum capacity in its current space. We have been very resourceful and creative in making the most of our space, but our artefact and archives holdings are growing, and we are limited in the number of visitors we can host for community events.
With our community’s support, we have set a vision for expanding our Museum space as we look towards growing our presence in the community — for another forty years and beyond.
