Summary/Abstract: The Kashubina exhibition of 1911 was the first one to present the achievements of Polish industrial, agricultural and educational organizations in the north-west area of the Polish territories under the Prussian occupation. It is one of the proofs of the political activity of the Kashubian movement and the various communities functioning within it. The works on its organization, development and press accounts serve as an opportunity to illustrate the German-Polish tensions of that time. The article presents the activity of the main organizations involved in the preparation of the exhibition such as the Ethnographic Kashubian Society, the Industrial Society of Kościerzyna, the “Bazar Society”, and the various undertakings of those societies. The structure of the exhibition, its exhibits and products were briefly described.
