Henryk Bukowski (born 6 January 1839 in Kaukle, Kovno Governorate, died 11 March 1900 in Stockholm) was a Polish antiquarian in Sweden, a participant in the January Uprising, a political emigrant, and a lifetime member of the Polish Museum, Rapperswil from 1891.[1]
Biography
[edit]The son of Adam and Izabela (née Bortkiewicz), he was born at the family estate of Kaukle in the Lauda region (Panevėžys County).[2]
He completed his studies at Moscow University. After the uprising was crushed in 1864, he moved to Sweden. In 1870, he established a Polish antiquarian bookstore in Stockholm, which played a role as a Polish research station in Sweden. This business still exists today as the Bukowskis Auction House.[3] He was a co-founder of the Nordic Museum and actively supported the Polish museum in Rapperswil, as well as museums and libraries in Kraków. He was a member of the Polish League.[4]
He passed away in Stockholm and was initially buried there, with plans to transfer his remains either to Kraków or his family grave in Poszołaty, Kovno Governorate.[5] However, due to the requests of fellow Poles living abroad, it was decided to transfer his remains to Rapperswil, where he was buried next to Władysław Plater, the founder of the Polish National Museum.[6] The reburial took place on 8 August 1900.[7][8]
