The Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów is the custodian of the memory of King Jan III and of Stanisław Kostka Potocki's museum which dates back to 1805. While granting public access to the latter, it uses modern means to teach of the times of both its patrons and cultivates the values of Old Polish tradition. The Museum educates in civic and patriotic responsibility for the cultural and natural heritage of the nation.
