Warsaw Rising Museum

Opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak, the Warsaw Rising Museum is dedicated to the heroic and tragic 63-day struggle of the Warsaw residents in 1944 against Nazi Germany. The museum's layout and exhibits are designed to evoke the disorienting and chaotic atmosphere of the uprising, with sounds of battle resonating throughout the exhibition spaces. Artifacts, photographs, and personal accounts provide a visceral, emotional experience, capturing the fierce determination and the profound human cost of the resistance. The museum's centerpiece, the Liberty Hall, features a symbolic heart made from melted down wartime rubble, and a stunning aerial film shot from a drone offers a bird’s-eye view of the city as it appeared in ruins after the war. Educational programs and remembrance events serve to educate visitors and commemorate the fighters' and civilians' courage, making the museum a poignant destination for history enthusiasts and scholars alike.
