As a big fan of neon art, this was a must-visit place for me. The museum is hidden in a Soho Factory grounds, located in an old warehouse and looks very unassuming from outside. The exhibition entails a large collection of neons but also a historic background on neon art and scientific origin. Most of neon signs have been saved from destruction, refurbished and now working, some are damaged but each tell their own unique story. There’s an interesting piece to read about the group that works on collecting and restoring neon signs.
Ticket to the museum is not expensive and the proceedings goes mainly towards maintainable of neons. Staff are relaxed and friendly, small gift shop area offers little range of neon-inspired souvenirs and books.





It’s definitely a perfect place to take some excellent looking photos, and also the whole museum looks great




I came here with my cousin (and on recommendation from my mother).
We fully enjoyed the museum, all of the neons had a brief history of the neon sign and there is information at the front before you enter the exhibition about neon and how it was created.
I can still just about remember seeing some of these signs in their original homes and my cousin said the cinema signs are still neon in a majority of the cinemas in Warsaw.
I highly recommend it because it is just so different (and provides for some great pictures). I will definitely come back as they do get new neons on show and it’s a relaxing museum.



Having recently visited some large museums with a very broad scope in other cities, this museum came as a welcome change. As interesting as the big museums often are, a visit of several hours can also be quite exhausting. If you have a good look at everything in the Neon Museum, and read every description (it's all available in English), you will be there for not longer than an hour. It has one theme, one type of exhibits: Neon signs! Neon signs from Poland, more accurately; I don't think I have seen signs from elsewhere there. The small exhibition is well presented with an introductory information board on the history of neon signs. Many signs are restored, in working order and switched on. I think I wouldn't recommend going there with smaller children - there are rather scary "don't touch, high voltage!" signs everywhere, but there aren't any barriers or protections, so it's left to the visitors to heed the warnings and avoid electrocution. A small souvenir shop has posters, mugs and similar things.

I didn’t think I’d have any interest in this at all, but it told a fascinating story that combined science, design, history and politics. Something for everyone!

We visited the neon museum as it was something we’d never heard of before. We were pleasantly surprised and felt it was worth the train journey (we also visited the vodka museum as it was on the same side of the river). It was refreshing and had good photo opportunities; however you can only take photos on your phone and for personal use which was fine for us anyway. Some very interesting facts and a cheap way to spend some time.
