According to archaeological research, in medieval Poland, lead glass jewellery was mass-produced from lead glass, and the raw material for beads and rings production came from Polish deposits. The study’s findings were published in the prestigious Journal of Archaeological Science by a team of scientists from the University of Wrocław, Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Jagiellonian University, National Centre for Nuclear Research, University of Warsaw, Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa, and Juniata College in the USA. The lead author of the study was dr hab. Aleksandra Pankiewicz from the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Wrocław.
The ongoing comprehensive renovation of the Historical Institute building at ul. Szewska 49 provides an opportunity to gain an in-depth insight into the history of the building dating back several hundred years.

The gallery presented here contains photographs of the most interesting artefacts found during the last few months.
