5Take a Break

The museum’s 1st floor has a self-service cafe with outdoor seating on a terrace.

Across the road from the museum, drop by Wabu for a lunch of sushi and other Japanese cuisine.

Museum Exhibits

The ground floor begins with the division of Poland between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939 and moves through the major events of WWII. An elevator (lift) then takes you to the Mezzanine (2nd floor) and the start of the uprising in 1944 with day-by-day displays.

The largest exhibit, a life-size reproduction of the B-24J Liberator heavy bomber that was used to drop supplies for insurgents, fills much of the ground-floor Liberator Hall. Here you can also watch newsreel films shot during the uprising, as well as a six-minute 3D film that recreates the view from a flight over the city in 1945 – you’ll be stunned to see how much of Warsaw was destroyed.

Don’t miss the basement where you can see the exhibition on Germans in Warsaw and crawl through a replica of the sewer (thankfully devoid of sewage!) and take the elevator up to the top of the building’s 32m tower for a panoramic view of the city.
