About
The Diocesan Museum in Pelplin holds one of the finest collections of medieval art in Poland. It is located in the town of Pelplin in Tczew County and is managed by the bishopric of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pelplin. It bears the name of Bishop Stanisław Wojciech Okoniewski (1870–1944), the founder of the museum (pl), who died in Lisbon during World War II. Founded in the Second Polish Republic in 1928 during the interwar period, the collections have been housed in a modern-style building complex since 1988. Among the museum's most precious objects is Poland's only copy of the Gutenberg Bible.
