Summary/Abstract: The object of the study is the collection of medieval artifacts owned by the National Museum in Poznań, whose provenance is described as „from Lubusz Land”, with the purpose of organizing the knowledge about sculptures and paintings from this area. Such an identification of the origin of the mon- uments is insufficient to determine when they were created, and as a result, raises many other research problems that are highlighted in the text. These issues are characteristic for this particular region, which is a conglomerate of historical lands contemporaneous with the monuments under consideration. For this reason, I devoted both time and attention to the problem of relocation of those monuments, such as transporting them outside the province and transferring them between churches or museums. However, the lack of study on sculptures and paintings from the Lubusz Land necessitated the identification of potential avenues for future scientific initiatives. The article concludes with a catalog of monuments „from Lubusz Land” from the collection of the Medieval Art Gallery of the National Museum in Poznań, including several published for the first time.
