The Polish Cultural Institute of Winona, MN. known as the Polish Museum, was founded and organized in 1976 by Rev. Paul J. Breza, a Winona native. Determined to preserve Polish history, the museum was originally meant to accommodate his own collection of Kashubian history and artifacts. Today, the museum has grown to mirror the cultural and religious heritage of the large number of Poles who settled in the Winona area.
