[Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (Polish. Russian Russian Adam Adamovich Czartoryski( 14 January 1770, Warsaw — 15 July 1861, near Paris) — Russian and Polish statesman and politician, the head of the princely family Czartoryski, which during a long life fighters for the independence of Poland more than once predicted in the king of Poland.

At the beginning of the XIX century, he was close to the Russian Emperor Alexander I, was a member of his "secret Committee", and served as Minister of foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire (1804-1806). Head Of the national government during the November 1830 uprising. In the mid-19th century, his Parisian home (the Lambert mansion) became the headquarters of the Patriotic Polish emigration. He is also known as an art connoisseur and memoirist.

From 25 September 1817, he was married to Anna Sofia Sapieha (1799-1864), the only daughter of Prince Alexander Antony Sapieha, one of Napoleon's aides-de-camp from his marriage to Anna Zamoyskaya.

The fate of the Czartoryski collection became a mirror of Polish history. It began to be collected to replace the national Museum at a time when Polish independence was under threat. It was delivered to Paris when Poland disappeared from the map of Europe in the 19th century. Part of the collection was donated to the Warsaw library in the early 20th century. Fragments of the collection were later captured by the Nazis, and then part of it was handed over to the Soviets. 

The collection includes 86,000 items and a library of 250,000 books and manuscripts, many of which are of key historical significance.]
