Warsaw Rising Museum

The noble and tragic struggle of the Warsaw Uprising, and the people who partook in it, have finally been commemorated by this excellent museum, set up in the building of an old power station. Two thousand square metres of space mean that there's plenty of room to do honour to the Polish Home Army, as well as to bring those extremely difficult times to life. Replica radio stations and sewer systems, plenty of old photos and some insightful video footage ensure that as accurate a picture as possible is presented of the doomed struggle... A must see in Warsaw! If you want to learn more about the heroism, atrocities and murky politics of this crucial event in Poland's history, then click here.

"This museum shows the people that war is a disaster. When you enter inside Second World War atmosphere covers you and it takes you back in history. You see, hear and FEEL the war. When you go out from museum, it leaves you a stamp on your heart. "

"This is an excellent museum, and is a 'must see' for anyone who is either interested in the recent history of Poland, history of WWII or of the Jews in Poland. The exhibits are superb, and be sure to stop at the mini movie theatres to watch the films taken inside the ghetto at the time of the Rising. "
