The paper concerns the circumstances of the establishment of the Museum of the Battle of Legnica in the village of Legnickie Pole in Lower Silesia. The most important figures who contributed to organizing the the museum and its subsequent functioning are discussed. Furthermore, the article is an attempt to depict the museum in a broader context of the tradition of commemorating the Battle of Legnica in non-museum forms – such tradition was rarely taken into consideration so far. The museum, opened in 1961, should be regarded not only as an institution popularizing the knowledge about a historical event or as a manifestation of vitality of cultural memory, shaped through the ages – it was also an element of historical narrative of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) period.
