Summary/Abstract: University museums in Poland, like most similar institutions throughout Europe, are generally museums of the history of the academic establishments in which they were created. The University Museum in Toruń is different in this respect. It was established in 2005 out of the need to take care of already existing museum collections, first of all the works of art by Polish artists living abroad and of artists of the Vilnius and Toruń schools. It is not that the Museum doesn’t deal with the documentation of the history of science in Vilnius and in Toruń, but its science collection is only marginal.
