A permanent exhibition of folk banners has been set up in the barn-granary, also known as the ‘little barn’. On display here are banners from all periods in which the Polish people’s movement was active. The Museum currently owns around 50 banners of the people’s movement. The most valuable of these is the banner of the Polish People’s Party ‘Piast’ (‘Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe ‘Piast’) from 1928. The collected banners come from around the country as defined within its current borders as well as from the eastern territories that were part of Poland before 1939 and from Polish communities in exile. Depending on the organisation, region, and date of creation, the banners contained different symbols and text. The most common symbols on the People’s Party banners (from 1931) were the green four-leaf clover and the image of the Virgin Mary of Częstochowa. The banners were an expression of the unity and strength of the people’s movement. In the inter-war period, peasants gathered under these banners during demonstrations, political rallies, and strikes. In the post-war period, the banners accompanied celebrations of People’s Day, harvest festivals, and other important events in village life and in the peasant movement. The contemporary banners of people’s organisations draw on tradition. They feature the same symbols and slogans as before, emphasising patriotic, religious, and folk content. All the banners, regardless of the organisation they were associated with, are characterised by rich ornamentation in the form of embroidery, appliqué, and oleographs.
