I highly recommend visiting this museum to anyone who's interested in WW2 history. The museum has several floors with tons of information covering different topics around the uprising. It has some interactive elements as well, like a 3D cinema showing destroyed Warsaw, a movie theater showing scenes from the Uprising, the underground tunnel you can go through to get a feel how it felt for Polish fighters and citizens to move underground (they had to do that a lot), and more. I do recommend that you buy an audioguide - they sell it at the gift shop right after you enter. The narration is good and it also tells you where you need to go next. With the audioguide you also receive a museum map, which makes it easier not to get lost. The experience without the audioguide would have been much worse. Allocate 3-4 hours for the museum, come in the morning, buy tickets online to save some time during entry.

I came here via bus on a Wednesday morning in early July 2024. Google said they opened at 9am but apparently, in the summer months, they don't open until 10am. I'd highly recommend the audio guide which you can get once you're inside the museum in the gift shop. The audio guide took 2 hours to complete. This was a very popular museum and there were a lot of people inside. Make sure you don't miss the exhibits under the theater towards the end of the tour. I would have missed it had I not seen people coming out of there. There is a replica of the sewers that you can walk through in a loop, so make sure you do that because I almost missed that as well. The museum was very well done. I would highly recommend if you have extra time in Warsaw.

The Warsaw Rising Museum is free on Mondays, which can make it quite crowded. Still, it is an excellent museum and well worth visiting. The Warsaw Uprising was led by the Polish Resistance in the Summer of 1944, a year after the Warsaw Ghetto was destroyed. The exhibits twist and turn and take you through that turbulent period. You can see an airdrop container designed for Partisan Units. You can "walk" through a model of a sewer. Be sure to duck your head! The museum was on four floors and had a lot of information. I watched some movies of life in the occupied city and the Uprising that were considered lost for many years. I also picked up information sheets in English with more detailed information about the events depicted in the exhibits.

The museum itself is very well done and very interactive, nothing boring about it as most think about historic museums. All descriptions are in Polish and English but I would strongly recommend to hire a guide ($50?) . We hired a guide who did amazing job explaining historic background to my teens (who attend schools in US) and they never seemed bored and asked questions. After the visit to museum they were able to understand better Warsaw as we continued to sightseeing the city for the next 2 days. Also they learned a lot of facts that are not thought in schools outside Poland like during WWII, Polish pilots served in the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force (RAF) and contributed to the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain. You can see their uniforms there as many other authentic WWII artifacts. Strongly recommend to visit this amazing museum.

This museum was far bigger than I anticipated. We weee keen to visit this museum as we’d heard good things and were also interested in the history of the Warsaw people fighting back against the occupying Nazis in WWII. I did not comprehend how huge this museum was though. We spent 3 hours here and still did not manage to cover every inch of the site. We went on a weekend and it was insanely busy so that definitely added time to our visit but to read every piece of information available would probably mean a visit would end up being around 5 hours in total as a guesstimate. We arrived at 1100 on a Saturday and had to wait about 40 minutes to get in after we’d purchased our tickets. It’s probably worth arriving therefore just before it opens at 1000 I’d think in order to hopefully avoid the queues. Or a weekday may be a better option if feasible. The museum itself is so well done. Interesting displays about the Warsaw uprising event itself, the stories of the numerous people involved and a great section with personal belongings from participants including objects that were used to hide things used in the uprising such as a toy train where they hid plans and such. This museum genuinely needs to be on your top 5 things to do in the city.

The museum was inaugurated in connection with the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising in 2004. The museum is a popular tourist destination. When Poland was occupied by the Nazis, a resistance army was assembled and eventually crushed. The museum has also documented the everyday lives of local residents during the occupation and communism. Get to see the most interesting places of the Warsaw Uprising Museum. So we take the opportunity to relive the dark history at different museums. Starting with going to Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego which is a modern museum that takes up much of the horrors that have befallen Warsaw. 2 hours is the minimum time you should spend here, although you can definitely spend much more time here. It houses an oral historical archive established in 2004. It is the world's largest collection of stories about participants and witnesses of the Warsaw Uprising. During their years of operation, they have been visited by almost seven million people, of whom about 20% are foreigners. The museum is the most modern cultural institution in Poland. The Warsaw Uprising is one of the most important events of World War II, which had a major impact on Warsaw's fate. The best place to learn more about the course of this largest urban battle in Poland is the Warsaw Uprising Museum. When we visit the interactive exhibition, we discover the moving stories and stories of the insurgents, that is, dreamers and heroes who wanted to win their freedom. Films, photographs and other exhibits give us an insight into how these years could appear to Warsaw residents. Another interesting exhibition of the museum is a radio station, field mail or a conspirato room and a special coding machine. The following exhibitions show the dramatic fall and capitulation of the Warsaw Uprising. Also got to see the symbolic graves of the insurgents. The Warsaw Uprising broke out on 1 August 1944 and then began the daring and uneven struggle of the Warsaw insurgents with the Nazi troops. In 63 days, over 55 thousand. rebels defend the capital and die for their homeland. We can get to know their heartbreaking stories, huge dramas and moments of ordinary everyday life among bullets flying overhead while we walk through the exhibits at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. This place tells both about the old Warsaw, which forever disappeared under the rubble, and about the new capital, which was created from scratch.

One of the best museums I have ever been to! This museum is to honor Warsaw's resistance fighters. It is HUGE and has over 2,800 exhibition items along with tons of historical photographs. There are a couple of films too that I highly recommend you view, especially the one that has designated viewing times and you go into a small theater type of room to watch the film. To really take in all that this museum has to offer, I would plan on setting side a good chunk of time. I HIGHLY recommend this museum.

The entrance ticket costs 30 pln. Without a doubt one of the best museums in the city. It retraces the Polish uprising of 1944 against the German army with films, photos, exhibitions and much more. A must for tourists who want to know a bit of history.

Very interesting and very complete. It is a museum to take it easy, read a lot and listen a lot (must-see audio guide). The website recommends two hours to see it, but they didn't reach me and I had to leave without finishing it because they closed. It made a huge Impression and at times I had to hold back the urge to cry. If I go back to Warsaw, I'll go back to see the part that I didn't see. Oh! Mondays are free.

Very nice museum. You should definitely mark it on your list when you go to Warsaw. It tells a fantastic piece of history all in one place. Through interactive exhibits, personal stories, and authentic artifacts, the museum vividly conveys the bravery and resilience of the Polish resistance. A visit to the Warsaw Uprising Museum is essential for anyone seeking to understand this pivotal event in Warsaw's history.
