Warsaw Uprising Museum

Among the best places to visit in Warsaw, the Uprising Museum is one of them. A one-of-a-kind location that helps visitors understand contemporary Warsaw. This interactive museum commemorates World War II's largest underground combat operation in German-occupied Europe. The 1944 Warsaw Uprising forever altered the face of Poland's capital.

The multimedia exhibition reflects the mood of the Uprising, depicting not only the military history of the 63 days of fighting and civilian life but also the post-war communist terror. While strolling along the granite pavement among the rubble of the destroyed capital, you will hear insurgent stories and see original exhibits from the uprising. In the film City of Ruins, you will understand how soldiers moving through the sewers felt, and you will see a birds-eye view of the flattened city.

You can also take a selfie with a Liberator B-24J replica. Such planes dropped supplies for the troops fighting in Warsaw. At the heart of the museum is a steel monument that runs through all four floors. Its walls are covered with bullet marks and the dates of each day of the uprising, and the sound of a beating heart, symbolizing Warsaw's life in 1944, can be heard from within. Pay attention to the Memorial Wall in Freedom Park, which is adjacent to the museum. It bears the names of nearly 11,000 soldiers killed during the Uprising. Keep an eye out for insurgent murals by well-known Polish artists on the "Wall of Arts."
