Attraction · Warsaw, Poland
No traveler has reviewed it yet. Yours would be the first on this page, and the bad parts are the useful parts.

A museum in a former tram power station in Wola devoted to the Warsaw Rising of 1944, its sixty-three days of fighting, and the destruction of the city that followed.
It explains modern Warsaw. The reason the city is mostly postwar concrete and reconstructed old town is contained entirely in this building, and no account of Poland's twentieth century makes sense without it.
Outstanding exhibition design, the walk-through sewer, the City of Ruins aerial film, early opening hours, and a price that puts it within reach of everyone.
Emotionally punishing and unsuitable for young children. The route is not clearly linear. Closed Tuesdays. Busy with school groups in term time.
Anyone visiting Warsaw for the first time, and anyone interested in the Second World War beyond the western front.
You are travelling with small children, or you want a light morning. This is neither.
Arrive at 8am on a weekday when it opens, which is genuinely quiet. Allow three hours. The audio guide hire is 13 PLN and worth it, because the labelling assumes context. Watch the City of Ruins film at the end, not the start.
Normal 35 PLN, discounted 30 PLN, group ticket 35 PLN with a museum guide booked online, large family card holders 10 PLN per person at the box office. Audio guide hire is 13 PLN.
Tram to Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego, or a twenty-minute walk west from Rondo Daszynskiego metro station.
Wola, west of the centre, an area that was the site of the worst massacres of the rising and is now largely rebuilt offices and apartments.
Three hours. Two if you skip the film, which would be a mistake.
Lifts serve the main levels, though the sewer reconstruction is by its nature not accessible.
The single most important museum in Warsaw and thirty-five zloty well spent. Arrive at eight, take the audio guide, and leave the afternoon free afterwards.

It opens Monday and Wednesday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm, and is closed on Tuesdays. The museum covers the uprising of August and September 1944, when the Polish underground took on the German garrison expecting Soviet support that never came.…
