The picturesque manor house on Krakowska Street in Tarnów is home to the Ethnographic Museum with the world’s first exclusive exhibition on Romani history and culture. It was established in 1990, afte^r the 4th Romani Congress. Three rooms present the cultural heritage of the Romani community against the background of European history. The exhibition’s visual setting is based on clear, colourful panels, photographic reproductions, archival material, and Romani crafts. It presents the history of the Romani, from the Indian exodus through the community’s wanderings around the world, attempts at forced settlement and subsequent persecution, the ban on migration and conversion to a sedentary lifestyle, to the mass extermination of the Romani people between 1942 and 1945. Here, you can find information about the routes taken during the centuries of nomadic life and the linguistic influences reflected in the dialects of specific groups today. Years of repression and discrimination against the community are attested to by copies of acts, laws, and informational posters about the particularly cruel treatment of nomads, who were pushed to the bottom of the social ladder. In addition, of note are the oldest references to the attitude of the local population towards the arriving wanderers, photographs of Romani chiefs and kings, as well as of abandoned camps after the ban on further wandering and the forced settlement of the Romani, introduced in 1964. The exhibition is complemented by objects crafted by the Balkan Romani people that showcase their traditional professions, ritual and religious photographs, and the artistic output of the Romani themselves.
