A comprehensive museum telling the history of the 1944 Warsaw Uprisings.
The Warsaw Rising Museum was opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting in Warsaw. The Museum is a tribute of Warsaw’s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital. The exhibition depicts fighting and everyday life during the Rising, keeping occupation terror in the background. Complexity of the international situation at the time of the Rising is portrayed, including the post-war years of the Communist regime and the fate of Insurgents in the People’s Republic of Poland (PRL). With the total area of more than 3000 m2, 800 exhibition items, approximately 1500 photographs, films and sound recordings, history of the days preceding the Rising is told. Visitors are guided through the subsequent stages of the Rising until the time when the Insurgents left Warsaw. Their further fate is also portrayed.

Excellent museum full of history and interactive exhibits
The museum is a history of WWII and the uprising after, the exhibits are informative, interesting and moving all in equal measure. It was amazing to see pieces from the war so well preserved. There are stories and real life accounts being played on video from WWII among exhibits and all have explanations in English. The museum was very busy when we were there (rainy Saturday) but it didn’t detract from the museum which shows just how interesting it is. Mr H and I spent an entire morning here but I would say easily 4 hours could be spent here

Great historical information but overwhelming
I went on a rainy Sunday, so I think because of the weather it was museum day for many people and it was over crowded. Getting tickets was quick, but the space for audio tours is small and waited at least 15 minutes to get in. Overall I just found the museum a bit overwhelming with the amount of content. Between the audio tour, the info plaques, videos, etc., it was a lot to cover. You could probably spend 8 hours here if you want to see absolutely everything. I really enjoyed it to start but after 2 hours I just started rushing through. The lay out was also difficult, I tried to follow the map provided but it can be a bit disorienting determining where you are and what number to select in the audio tour. If I was to do this again I'd purchase a walking tour with a guide and then backtrack on my own after.
