Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego

Very informative museum about the Warsaw uprising in 1944. £6 to enter. Stayed for around an hour, but lots more still to see. Many original items on display and stories of survivors. A must see is the 3d film showing a fly over of the extent of the damage caused to the city by the German bombings.

Highly recommend visiting here while you're in Warsaw. This is one of the most well done museum exhibits I have ever been to; it had a variety of means of presenting history which made it very engaging (photos, video content, recorded audio content, personal and historical artifacts, stories, historical facts/timelines, recreations of entire historical environments you could walk through, etc) and we spent several hours here. It did a great job of teaching me so much about the uprising that I didn't previously know, and was a good balance of representing historical events and remembering/honoring victims of the atrocities that happened at the hands of the Nazis. It was quite hot and stuffy when we went though and I wish the AC would have been a bit higher so my recommendation is to bring yourself a cold water bottle or two while you're there.

Must visit for anyone interested in Poland's WW2 history! It helps contextualize the country's difficult situation to a great extent. What I liked the most were the detailed descriptions from Hans Frank's diary of how the uprising was hurting the Nazis. If there's anything to improve it's making the visiting route clearer

This is a really awesome museum if you are interested in WWII, polish history, and military history. It is a pretty large place and took us a while to see everything. There are a lot of guns and artifacts from WWII, as well as a lot of personal items like letters and journals. Speaking polish would be nice, but there was plenty in English also, so I felt like I got a lot out of it still. Highly recommended!

Great experience. Interesting museum, very informative and everything has an English translation. You need a few hours to fully enjoy all of the museum.
There's really big lockers for bags in the yard opposite the entrance. You need 5PLN coin to operate the lockers. I used a 50 euro cent coin which worked perfectly.
Free to visit on Mondays. I Highly recommend a visit

Unfortunately a great museum. Lot of interactive parts, with a well explained visit path, and the possibility to rent an audio guide for a more complete experience. Plan at least a few hours to completely experience the whole experience, as they also screen some movies and have a temporary exhibition on top of the standard museum that in itself is worth visiting when in town.

This Museum is well organised, very interesting, well laid out, and has a lot to see. I was thoroughly impressed and enjoyed every moment inside. It is so well worth the entrance fee. It's a must when you are in Warsaw. We bought Metro tickets for the day for 3 pounds I think and moved all over town on the tram. Loved it. Warsaw Poland is definitely so European. I can't wait to come back again. There is too much to see for a long weekend. I also found Warsaw to be affordable when travelling on the Pound. I honestly never thought of Poland as a travel destination for myself, and now, I am excited to return some day. I loved my experience here. I felt safe, and there is order.
Come and visit Poland. You're welcome.

Great place to learn about the struggles and the resistance that took place during Natzi occupation in Warsaw. Obviously you go there to also pay respect and remember. It's a school kid age destination so you won't be there alone but it wasn't too crowded when we visited.

Impressive museum full of history. If you like history you will spend a whole day inside. We only had 4 hours and were not able to see it all. Really recommend going to understand a lot about the city's history in the 20th century.

I enjoyed touring this museum. It was a place where I was both touched and gained historical information.

I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. The attention to detail in the interior design is remarkable, truly capturing the essence of the era. I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information provided. I could spent an entire day engrossed in the exhibits, absorbing the stories and events that shaped the city's history.

Even though my visit was relatively short, I left with a profound sense of connection to the past. I'd strongly recommend allocating a good 2-3 hours to fully appreciate the experience. It's not just a museum visit – it's an journey that allows you to immerse yourself in the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs of the people during that pivotal time.

The Warsaw Uprising Museum is an absolute must-visit, and I'm already planning to return. Whether you're a history buff or just curious about the past, this museum offers an exceptional opportunity to explore and learn. Don't miss out on this enriching and moving experience.

Went on free admission Monday and spent three hours there. (Pick up your free ticket from the kasa first.) Very easy to spend more time there if you want to read everything! I rented the audio guide (PLN 10), which helped summarize the exhibits. The temporary exhibit of objects found during the time of the uprising was very moving, especially the blood-spattered glasses of a doctor who tried to negotiate with the German soldiers to save the patients at his hospital, but they were ruthless and gunned him down.

I waited 15 minutes for buying ticket, seems normal. Please mind if you’re student you can buy reduced ticket. After buying ticket you should wait in the entry queue, for me it took 20 minutes. The tour takes 2 hours approximately. I recommend this museum to understand well Warsaw during 1939-45. It would be better if there was Turkish language as audioguide additional.

Amazing experience... Must see place for the ones interested in WW2.

One of the best tourist spots in Warsaw. Definitely worth coming there whether with or without children. You get to learn about the history of Poland in a fun and entertaining way.

Good museum to visit. It tells the story of the Second World War and what happened in Poland. I recommend at the entrance to use the audio guide in your language, it will be a better visit following the numbers to understand better. It has a lot to see!

A very informative museum on WW2 and the Polish uprising. Great layout. Impressive original artifacts.

It was an amazing place to visit for historians. It is always a good idea to visit such places when in town. We can go back in history and experience it here. It helped bcz we visited Auschwitz next day that gave us some references. Like any other country, fight for independence filled with sacrifices, courage, bravery, revolutions etc. You learn and grow. Love Warsaw!

I visited here on a Monday.
The signs are not clear on entry, as to where to get your tickets from🤦‍♂🤷‍♂
Being English, the ticket sign was written in Polish! In areas there was English written alongside Polish signs.

I had to get directions to find the ticket area. Oh its written as 'Kasa' a little building set on its own at the end of the courtyard👍

After all that, getting into the ticket office, I was surprised to find out it was free on a Monday! Result😀 so as I left the ticket office, I donated money into this huge glass collection box, outside.

There was no queue today, about 1.30pm.
There was no English tour guide available, so had to wander around and check out all the displays and read up on them.
It is another amazing part of Polish history! Solely based about The Warsaw Uprising.

There are so many areas based in here, all with written information or recorded vocal and filmed footage.

The struggles of the Polish people is truly upsetting, then the admiration and bravery of their Polish ancestors, fighting, sometimes an impossible fight.

The stories of support from other nations is commendable!

There is information here of the atrocities they went through, but the strength Polish men, women and children, even their Goats, supporting them with well need milk supplies😱

The stories of how they coped in the underground, then to try to fight against the strength of the Germans.
Living and moving through the drainage system, only to surface for well needed supplies!

The cinema room shows photography from an aircraft circling Warsaw after all the bombing! Truly upsetting😢 but admiration to all of the Polish people that tried to fight back!

Was nice to see the footage of Germans being captured and taken prisoner's after the war, some karma coming back to them, although the Polish were not barbaric like the Germans were.

You have to take several hours to take all the information in here at the Warsaw uprising museum.

I highly recommend coming here, just to learn what people have had to suffer and not to let it happen again.
Knowledge is power👍

I will have to go to the Tomb of the unknown Soldier again now, to pay my silent respects to all❤

It's amazing museum, But I suggest you another place too! Gdansk is a city north of Poland , has the biggest WWII museum I have ever seen with a lot of details.
