The collection mainly contains Polonica, monumental works on Polish history and legislation and the European academic legacy dating back to the period between the 16th and 19th centuries, particularly related to law, theology and science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fragile and light-sensitive relics of written works and printed materials, due to their properties, are displayed in temporary exhibitions, showcasing fragments of the collection that tell a selected thematic story. Thanks to this practice, it is possible to invite to cyclical visits and focus on different types of documents and accompanying stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gallery-block size-medium expandable-gallery wp-block-mnk-gallery-block\"><h2>Gallery<\/h2><div class=\"gallery-wrap\"><div class=\"gallery-wrap-inner\"><div class=\"grid gallery-sec\"><div class=\"grid-sizer\"><\/div><div class=\"gutter-sizer\"><\/div><div class=\"grid-item\"><div class=\"mansory-grid-card\"><a href=\"https:\/\/new.mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/mars-krwawy-dziela01_original.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\" data-caption=\"Plan obl\u0119\u017cenia Torunia przez Szwed\u00f3w w 1658 r.
