	The opening section of the paper is considered with historical conditions of collecting activities undertaken by Polish minority in Czech Republic. The following one explores currently existing regional rooms, such as Room of Tradition in Skrzeczoń, Room of Tradition in Niebory, an exhibition Sky Champions in Cierlicko, which all were created as initiatives of members of Local Polish Cultural and Educational Association in Czech Republic and Karol Piegza Small Regional Museum placed in Primary School in Bukowiec, where Polish is taught as a first language. Those places were analysed according to history of their establishment, the character of gathered collections and forms of exposition and sharing with public. The last section of the paper is devoted to setting out the course for the future research on the collective memory of Polish minority in Czech Republic.
