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.

A must see place in Warsaw. We visited with two teenage girls who were amazed by the exhibitions. They collected all the calendar cards that describe each significant date of the Uprising. They certainly weren't bored. There are a lot of interactive gadgets and multiple recorded interviews with the insurgents. For any Warsaw inhabitant it's a really emotional place.

I’m a WW2 History buff and was predisposed to liking the museum. I visited on probably the busiest day of the year. 1 August, the anniversary of the uprising. At 12 pm getting a free ticket at the kiosk (museum shop) was quick, but there was a one hour wait to get in. However, there were soldiers and child scouts singing and playing the guitar while we waited.

There were no more audio guides available to rent, although entry is free on Monday. To avoid the crowds, I’d go at around 3 pm. There was no line to get in then.

There are some interesting exhibits and I spent 2 hours reading the leaflets and exhibits. If I had had an audio guide, it may have added another 30-40 minutes to my visit.

Other reviewers have commented on how hard it is to find your way around the museum. I had no map or audio guide and managed, except at the very end I had to ask a guard to show me the exit. And I’m usually bad at finding my way….:) However, I do agree that the flow and layout isn’t optimum. You often double back on yourself and bump into people going the other way as the direction of the exhibits isn’t one way.

Also, as other reviewers have noted, there are large child groups visiting, which can make for a sometimes pushy and loud experience. Again, visiting at around 3 pm when the museum isn’t so busy should help with this.

If you are pressed for time, the POLIN museum is much better (but it’s about the Jewish history in Poland. However, since the Jews cooperated in the Warsaw uprising the event is also covered in that museum.)

Or, if you are going to Gdańsk, you can skip this museum in favor of the superb WW2 museum there which covers the Warsaw Uprising.

It’s a pity that such a significant event in Warsaw’s history didn’t get the museum layout it deserves.

The artifacts in this museum are great.

The organization of this museum is abysmal. There is no overview or history. You have little indication where to go next. The lighting is dark at times, making thinks hard to read.

Free on Mondays. Worth every penny on Monday.

Very skippable if you are pressed for time in Warsaw.

If visiting Warsaw this is a must see to really get an understanding of what happened to the Polish people in Warsaw. There is a focus on the Poles and not the Jewish population but it is a time some westerners may not fully appreciate as to what went on. It focuses on the time leading up to the uprising and the period it lasted. Very moving seeing the ages of those who fought in this. there are many similarities to what is going on in other parts of Europe now. You need some time to view all of this but well worth it. Most moving of all is the film at the end of the visit which plays for a number of minutes showing the devastation of Warsaw.
