PLN 1.40 - Palace in Fawley Court (England), where the Marianes Priests` Museum is located. It was founded in 1953, when Fawley Court was acquired to found a gymnasium for boys. Father Józef Jarzębski, excellent pedagogue and collectioner, started to bring national souvenirs. It was his dream to have more and more numerous exhibits serve and help the young people understand the history and culture of Poland. Father Józef`s biggest merit is, doubtlessly, the biggest collection of objects connected with the January Uprising and the Great Emigration. Moreover, the museum`s collections include priceless printed matter and documents with autographs of kings from Kazimierz Jagiellończyk to Stanisław Poniatowski, the Pope`s bullas from the 16th and 17th centuries, 16th century Polish Bibles, and a library of over 20 thousand books.
