The article provides and overview of the „written history” of the sword of St. Peter which has been in the collections of the Archdiocesan Museum in Poznañ for over twenty-five years. Although scholarly studies are mentioned for the sake of reference, the main focus is on the fate of the relic as recorded in documentary evidence in the form of entries in chronicles, decrees and inventory books which indubitably testify to the existence of the sword of St. Peter. Thanks to those records it was possible to retrace the continuity of the relic from the moment of its arrival to the Piast state up to the present day.

The paper focuses on the history of the Museum of Ecclesiastical Art at the Imperial Castle in Poznan. It functioned between 1923 and 1929, being a short episode but an important one in the history of the Archdiocesan Museum in Poznań. Formerly a Diocesan Museum, it was established in 1898 with an exquisite collection of sacred art assembled over the years. However, due to the lack of exhibition space the collection was only stored and not many people knew about   it. Shortly after Poland regained its independence, Poznan's elite wanted to partially convert the imperial castle (built by the Prussians for William II, German Emperor) into a museum of Polish art. The Government asked the Church to deposit their art collection and granted the city permission to open the Museum of Ecclesiastical Art at the Imperial Castle in Poznan. The proposition was accepted. The two people nominated to carry out this enterprise were: Rev. Edmund Majkowski, the museum's director, and Mr. Nikodem Pajzderski, art conservation official. With great effort they created a very interesting exhibition. Unfortunately, the Government did not show much interest in the newly opened museum and did not fulfill its promises. Investments were close to nothing and with time the whole project was abandoned and the collection removed from the  castle.

Three anniversaries which fall within a short time span (creation of the Lubrański Academy in 1518, establishment of the Archdiocesan Museum in 898, completion of the modernization of the Museum in September 2007) off er the Archdiocesan Museum in Poznań an opportunity to take a critical look at its condition and activity in the past decades. The article focuses on the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century. Attention is drawn to the important moment of the Museum’s independence when it was detached from the Archive and its separate director was appointed, who was entrusted the organization of the museum’s exhibition and the conservation care of the monuments of the whole archdiocese. Both these tasks were successfully accomplished, initiating a prosperous period in the activity of the Museum – there functioned an exhibition open to the public with a permanent display and changeable temporary displays, a new branch was opened, there was a thriving conservation workshop. Systemic changes, Poland’s accession to the European Union and the taking over of the administration of the Archdiocese by a new Archbishop opened up new opportunities for the Museum’s activity. At present the Archdiocesan Museum in Poznań is an important cultural institution in the city, which cooperates with many scientifi c and cultural institutions and has a rich educational program forchildren and youth as well as a valuable cultural off er for everyone.

Przypadające w bliskim odstępie czasu trzy rocznice (powołania Akademii Lubrańskiego w 1518 r., założenia Muzeum Archidiecezjalnego w 1898 r., zakończenia modernizacji Muzeum we wrześniu 2007 r.) stwarzają Muzeum Archidiecezjalnemu w Poznaniu okazję do krytycznego spojrzenia na jego kondycję i działalność w minionym czasie. W tym artykule skupiono się na okresie drugiej połowy XX wieku i pierwszych dekadach wieku XXI. Zwrócono uwagę na ważny moment usamodzielnienia się placówki poprzez oddzielenie od istniejącego do tej pory łącznie Archiwum i Muzeum oraz powołanie odrębnego dyrektora, któremu powierzono przede wszystkim zorganizowanie muzealnej ekspozycji i opiekę konserwatorską nad zabytkami całej archidiecezji. Zadania te zostały wykonane, co zapoczątkowało dobry okres działalności Muzeum – funkcjonowała otwarta dla publiczności ekspozycja z wystawą stałą i zmieniającymi się wystawami czasowymi, otwarto nowy oddział, dobrze prosperowała pracownia konserwatorska. Zmiany ustrojowe, wejście Polski do wspólnoty Unii Europejskiej oraz objęcie rządów w archidiecezji przez nowego arcybiskupa stworzyły nowe możliwości działania dla Muzeum. W tej chwili Muzeum Archidiecezjalne w Poznaniu to licząca się w mieście placówka kulturalna współpracująca z wieloma instytucjami nauki i kultury, z bogatym programem edukacyjnym dla dzieci i młodzieży oraz wartościową ofertą kulturalną dla każdego.
