Warsaw Uprising Museum

The Warsaw Uprising Museum, located in the building of the former tram depot, is one of the most visited tourist places in the Polish capital. It was opened in the year of the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities in Warsaw and became a symbol of the memory of all who fought and died for the independence of the country. On an area of more than 3,000 square meters, you can see several thousand exhibits and photographs telling about the uprising, from the prehistory to the moment when the rebels left Warsaw.

The heart of the museum is a steel monument permeating all floors of the building, on the walls of which the chronology of events is engraved. The sound of a beating heart from the monument symbolizes the life of the city in 1944. From the museum tower, a panorama of Warsaw opens, from here you can see the Wall of Memory in Freedom Park. It contains 10,000 names of rebels who fell in those terrible years. The bell weighing more than 200 kilograms, installed in the central part of the wall, is dedicated to Brigadier General Antony Khrusel.

For visitors, a cinema hall is organized, where you can watch the film "City of Ruins", reconstructing the flight of the Liberator bomber in 1945 over the destroyed and devastated Warsaw. At this point, you can most vividly imagine the horror and scale of destruction. Here you can see a copy of the same bomber.
