The Archaeological Museum in Biskupin is one of the largest and most recognizable archaeological reserves in Europe. Thanks to its exceptional value for Poland's cultural heritage, it has been declared a Monument of History. It covers an area of about 38 hectares and contains numerous traces of ancient settlement - from the Stone Age to the early Middle Ages. The most famous of these is the site on the peninsula of Biskupinskie Lake, where there are remains of a defensive settlement from the turn of the Bronze and Iron Ages (about 2,700 years ago). The history of the discovery and first excavations dates back to the 1930s. At present, the museum's grounds include reconstructions of prehistoric and early medieval settlements, a petting zoo or an exhibition pavilion.
