About

The Mieszkanie‑Pracownia Kazimiery Iłłakowiczówny in Poznań preserves the intimate world of one of Poland’s most distinguished poets and translators. Located in the modest apartment where Iłłakowiczówna lived and worked for decades, the museum retains her original furnishings, books, manuscripts, and personal objects, creating an authentic portrait of her daily life. Visitors can explore the study where she wrote, the small salon where she received guests, and the shelves filled with volumes that shaped her literary imagination. The exhibition highlights her remarkable career, from her service in Józef Piłsudski’s chancellery to her later years devoted to poetry and translation. Quiet, atmospheric, and deeply personal, the museum offers a rare glimpse into the creative space of a writer whose work left a lasting mark on Polish literature.

Location

The Mieszkanie-Pracownia Kazimiery Iłłakowiczówny, a branch of the Raczyński Library, is located at ul. Gajowa 4/8 in Poznań's Jeżyce district, a residential area northwest of the city center. This intimate apartment-studio museum, opened in 1984 one year after the poet's death, preserves her authentic post-WWII living space with original furniture, books, personal belongings, artwork, and daily artifacts evoking the life of the Nobel-nominated literary figure. Nearby attractions blend literary heritage with urban greenery and culture. The Raczyński Library's grand neo-classical edifice graces Plac Wolności 1.5 km southeast, alongside the National Museum and Grand Theatre, while Park Cytadela's vast paths, military museums, and rose gardens lie 1 km east. The Enigma Cipher Centre and June 1956 Uprising Museum beckon along Święty Marcin boulevard within 2 km, complemented by trams connecting to Old Market Square's historic core, creating a thoughtful cultural itinerary.
