From Kenya to Antarctica: Poland's Easter egg museum brings global traditions together

A historic manor house in the picturesque Polish town of Ciechanowiec houses an extraordinary collection of Easter eggs from around the world. The Museum of Easter Eggs, which is part of the Kluk Priest Krzysztof Agricultural Museum, celebrated its 20th anniversary last year - it has been on the museum map of Poland since 3 April 2004.

The museum houses painted eggs from all seven continents, including Polish Easter eggs, known as "pisanki", as well as their various international iterations. Here, visitors can learn about the history of the craft, and familiarize themselves with the different techniques employed by artisans of differing folk traditions.
