The article discusses the legacy of Protestantismin Poland and the Protestant collections preserved in museuminstitutions in Poland. The author presents the collectionsof Evangelical artefacts amassed in various ways andforms and at different times, which thus constitutes a preliminarytypology of the legacy of the Reformation. For simplification,she defines Evangelical objects as all objectswhich are part of the broadly-understood Protestant legacy.The spectrum of these objects is very broad, ranging fromartefacts in traditional museum institutions, through sacredplaces, works of art, technical monuments, ephemera, cemeteries,to virtual collections of audiovisual and digitisedlegal instruments. The examples quoted in the text do notexhaust the subject, but evidence the vastness and richnessof the legacy acquired as a donation after the Reformationmovement initiated by the Augustinian monk Martin Luther
