Warsaw Rising Museum

This is a museum commemorates the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, when the Polish Underground Resistance resisted the German capture of their city. The uprising lasted 63 days, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. In revenge for the Polish forces encircling them, the Nazis destroyed a vast number of historical buildings and sites. The revolt was a major effort by a group of civilians who were ill-equipped and unarmed in their attempt to overcome the enemy, and the museum has done an outstanding job of capturing that spirit.

Many rooms and events are brought to life through films, antiques, recreations, and interactive displays, including models of the sewage tunnels that were used to move around the city in secret, an insurgent hospital, and a print shop where posters and underground newspapers may be seen. A unique area is dedicated to the Nazi occupation and the crimes perpetrated during the revolt, and several rooms broadcast uninterrupted original footage of the events.
