The Kraszewski Museum is the first binational museum in Germany and has thus been a living example of cooperation from the very beginning. It was founded in 1960 as a joint project between the Dresden City Museum and the Adam Mickiewicz Literature Museum in Warsaw. To this day, the cultural and historical links between Saxony and Poland and international understanding remain the focus of the museum. The museum co-operates with various cultural institutions and actors in Poland and Germany and maintains contacts with institutions and actors dedicated to the work and life of Józef Ignacy Kraszewski: Deutsch-Polnische Gesellschaft Sachsen e. V. und Polonia-Dresden e. V.
