The Museum is a restored Art Nouveau/ Secession style building from the early 20th century in the Old Town, compiling the biggest collection of Art Nouveau in Poland, including sets of glass, tin, silver, jewellery, pottery, sculptures, paintings, costumes and accessories, furniture, appliances and other home furnishings. The Mazovian Museum, the oldest public museum in the country, was launched in 1821. Collections are divided into five sections - Art, History, Archaeology, Ethnography and Numismatics. The Art department also displays contemporary art influenced by Art Déco, as well as art from the Far East and works connected with local artists.
