The building in the classical style, in which the museum is located, was built at the end of the 18th century on the territory of the estate Firlejuvschizna near Lublin and was called the Larch estate. In 1804-1810, the house belonged to the father of Vincent Paul - Francis Xavier Paul, after which he was sold in connection with the family moving to Lviv . In 1860, citizens of the Lubelskie Voivodeship donated this house to the Fields family, in whose property he spent the next seventeen years [1] .
In 1969, the building was moved to Kalinovshchizna Street (Building 13) in Lublin, where it was planned to create an open-air museum, the first object of which was to be the house of Vincent Field [2] .
December 2, 1972, on the centenary of the death of Vincent Paul, his biographical museum was opened [1] .
The museum contains manuscripts of works by Vincent Paul, the publication of his books and biographical studies about him, as well as his correspondence. In addition, the documents of the Fields family are presented; drawings of the poet’s grandson, Julius Paul 19th century furniture; collection of postcards of the late XIX - early XX century; newspapers of the XIX — XX centuries [3] .
Vincentius Paul founded the country's first department of geography at the Jagiellonian University , so it’s not surprising that the museum has a large collection of globes - 110 exhibits, as well as maps and other geographical publications [2] [3] .
