A note entitled 'Mickiewicz festivities in Nowogródek' in the magazine 'Świat', 1931, no. 24, p. 9 (public domain, reprinted after Mazowiecka Biblioteka Cyforwa) describes the planned celebrations to commemorate Adam Mickiewicz, as well as the planned establishment of a museum of the poet in the former home of his parents. The museum was opened on 11 September 1938. The building suffered from the war and some of the exhibits were destroyed. What was saved after the war was taken to Poland. In 1955, the museum was reopened.
