Wikipedia description:
The Polish Library in Paris (French: Bibliothèque Polonaise de Paris, Polish: Biblioteka Polska w Paryżu) is a Polish cultural centre of national importance and is closely associated both with the historic Great Emigration of the Polish élite to Paris in the 19th century and the formation in 1832 of the Literary Society (Towarzystwo Literackie), later the Historical and Literary Society. The Library was founded in 1838 by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, Karol Sienkiewicz, and others. Its first task was to safeguard all surviving books, documents, archives, and treasures of national importance to Poland. It has become a historical and documentary resource open for use by Poles and other researchers and visitors. The Library houses three museums related to significant Polish artists: the Salon Frédéric Chopin, the Adam Mickiewicz Museum, and the Bolesław Biegas Art collection. UNESCO's Memory of the World Register rates it an institution unique of its kind.
