Summary/Abstract: The Manor House of Ignacy Paderewski in Kąśna Dolna, which remains under the supervision of the Paderewski Centre, is a resiliently operating institution of culture which combines the functions of a biographical house and a concert centre. The manor house not only makes the composer’s residence accessible to tourists, but also organizes concerts, festivals and music workshops; it popularizes the knowledge of the artist, collects and publishes the documentation of musical activity from the voivodship of Tarnów. Broad, international concert activity of the Centre, particularly important during the process of Europe’s unification, plays an important role in getting to know the native cultural heritage; furthermore, it introduces Paderewski and his art into the Polish cultural landscape and emphasizes his universalism and world significance.
