The Museum of Pałuki Land in Żnin is housed in a historic building that uniquely combines a former Jewish shop from around 1890 with a German magistrate building from 1906, creating an unusual architectural blend. The museum showcases local history through diverse exhibitions including vintage printing machines from the family business that created Poland's first women's magazine "Moja Przyjaciółka" in the 1930s, motorboat racing memorabilia reflecting Żnin's status as a center for water sports, and traditional Pałuki ethnographic displays. The facility also features the Tadeusz Małachowski Gallery, which has hosted exhibitions of works by world-renowned artists including Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí, and displays intarsia artwork by Edmund Kapłoński, one of Poland's most celebrated artists in this wood inlay technique.
