This is a small place which is hard to find beacuse the location is hidden. Only the second time it worked. Inside there are noeons from whole Warsaw where history is written. The ticket price is not excessive but you can not see there a lot. Nice and cosy place, that's all.

Loved this museum. It's not so big, and it wasn't so crowded, so I had a great time here. It's so cool with all the neon signs, and it gives great pictures for your instagram stories. Im glad I went here.

Different type of museum but not in an easy location to walk to (as we did). It was surrounded by works on the day we went so difficult to find. Inside felt rather second rate as if some neon lights (not all of which work but some are simply broken) had just been put into a warehouse. Did give an interesting history on the discovery of neon though.

A very original museum which is great fun for taking photographs and learning more about the signs. It’s really small. It would be nice if someone was available to provide more info (maybe this is something that is offered, but not at the time we were there). The girl at the reception was a bit rude.

I’d seen The Neon Muzeum on a list of ‘must-see’ things in Warsaw, and was determined to pay a visit when we went to Poland recently. It’s situated a short tram ride from the city centre, and relatively easy to find. It’s a small museum, but beautifully laid out in a warehouse-type building, showing off the exhibits in the most visually pleasing way possible. The neon signs are mainly from Communist-era Warsaw, and are endlessly photogenic. The exhibits all have notes explaining what they were advertising or promoting, where they were sited, and photographs showing them in their original setting. There is also a TV documentary programme running on a loop, with the history of the neon signage, which sounds dry, but is absolutely fascinating.
We spent about 90 minutes or so at the museum, and that included viewing the TV film. I took loads of photographs of the beautiful signs, the museum asks you to use the camera on your ‘phone, and not to use proper cameras, but the neons are so photogenic that smartphone pics look fabulous.
There is a small museum shop, with some lovely neon-themed merchandise, where you can pick up a souvenir. When we’d finished at the museum, we took a tram back into central Warsaw via Praga. We really enjoyed our visit to the Neon Muzeum, and would recommend it if you have any interest in design, architecture, or pre and post-war Polish history.

The neon signs and their history were fascinating and it’s great to see this more recent part of history preserved. The only negative is that the museum is very small. Perhaps some thought should be given to extending the exhibitions.

Yes it’s far from the city center and it’s quite small BUT it’s well organised, the description are interesting, it’s original and the staff is super friendly. In my opinion it’s worth the detour.
The signs that are not lit are no big deal, it even adds to the atmosphere of this place.
Definitely recommend!

This is a rather small museum, but worth the humble price of 15 PLN. Lots of colorful neons provide a great photo opportunity, even during the day (the museum is in a dark warehouse), though it may be worth it to go after dusk and see the illuminations outside as well. All neons are authentic communist-era fixtures from Poland - either restored originals or their faithful copies. Descriptions in Polish and English complete this modest but unique exhibition. All of it is situated in the grungy heart of Praga - a former communal housing area that is now transforming into a trendy art district. It's got my heartfelt recommendation for whenever you're bored with Warsaw's city center.

The museum is quite small so unless you stop to read everything you can be round it in half an hour. They do show a film about neon signs around Warsaw which is quite interesting, if rather long. It was interesting though, as I've never given neon signs a second thought!
You can only take photos with a phone, you can't use a camera.

This is a fantastic little museum that offers a fascinating insight into the use of neon signs during the communist era in Eastern Europe. The museum do a great job at restoring and maintaining their collection, and everything is beautifully presented with detailed information in both Polish and English.
