About
The Enigma Cipher Centre is a brand of Poznań Heritage Centre – a municipal cultural institution. In line with our motto ‘True history. Challenge for the mind’, we use an innovative, multimedia exhibition to tell the story of the breaking of the code of the German cipher machine Enigma by Polish cryptologists: Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki. We want to unceasingly promote and popularise this unknown story because the contribution of the Polish mathematicians to the victory of the allies during the Second World War is still little known or even forgotten.

What a great experience. I had wanted to learn the story of the Poles who first broke the Enigma codes but there is so much more. Using interactive tools and an audio guide you are taken through a history of code making and code breaking, including making and breaking them yourself. The central story is well presented and is housed on the site where it all began here in Poznan. I would recommend it to anyone interested in history, maths, or problem-solving. My only slight disappointment was that the small bookshop didn’t have any titles in English of this extraordinary story.

Definitely worth a visit if your in Poznan. This is an extremely well laid out and informative museum. Although the main focus is on Polands work to crack enigma in WW2 it goes through the whole history of cryptography. Good English audio guide and lots of interactive areas that challenge you crack codes which would be good for children but also more challenging ones for everyone. If you have an interest you could spend hours in here ( I ran out of time as they were closing )!
