The museum was established in the 1990s on the initiative of the married couple Eleonora and Zdzis\u0142aw Ga\u0142ecki. The Museum of Blacksmithing in Warsaw is a private museum with a statute approved by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. It is a member of the Association of Free-Air Museums in Poland.<\/p>\n
The museum includes a 30-square-metre, timber-framed smithy with furnishings characteristic of early 20th-century suburban smithies in Mazovia. It continues the traditions of the former S\u0142u\u017cew forge, one of the oldest in Mazovia. The forge is furnished with period items and tools used in the former blacksmith's workshops, including a two-chamber bellows, a hand drill, a grinding stone, a \"hornless\" anvil, a blacksmith's hollow and a massive wooden workbench with vices which the blacksmith would make or repair.<\/p>\n
The area in front of the smithy houses agricultural and horticultural machinery and equipment, a tiller, a forage harvester, ploughs, harrows, a wagon back, a wooden pole for threading wagon axles, a swelling machine, as well as a pole dovecote, a log hive, a well turnstile and a St. Joseph's chapel. In addition to the permanent exhibition of the interior, there are temporary sculptures and paintings on display that relate in theme to the character of the museum. However, the museum also houses a creative workshop: The Forge of Artistic Blacksmithing and Space Arrangement , where works of applied art made of iron and interior and spatial arrangements are created.<\/p>\n
