Definitely the greatest attraction in Puszczykowo. The famous Polish writer, reporter and traveller used to live in this house from 1946 (when he had come back from emigration in the UK) till his death in 1985. The museum was opened in 1974. Exhibition covers photos from his travels, exhibits from exotic cultures, musical instruments from Asia, Africa and Oceania, ceremonial masks, sculptures, weapons and even trophies made of human heads. There's a big butterfly collection, tropical insect collection and aquaria with piranhas. Besides - books of Arkady Fiedler translated into more than 20 languages. Outside the main building: copies of the most famous sculptures of the world (The Sun-Gate in Bolivia, Moai statues from the Eastern Island), the miniature (1:23) of the Pyramid of Cheops and the copy (1:1) of one of the most famous ships: Santa Maria of Christopher Columbus.
By bus
It's also possible to use out-of-city buses to get to Puszczykowo, but the travel time can be a little frustrating. The route is served both by Poznan MPK company and by private line Eko-Rondo.
By car
There's an easy-to-find road from the centre of Poznan - number 430, leading directly to Puszczykowo. Travel time: appr. 30 minutes (depending on traffic) from the centre.
Puszczykowo is so small town, that all places interesting for tourists are navigable on foot. If necessary - you can always use buses #101 or Eko-Rondo to move from one place to another.
