Overall ok, Tickets cost 35zl (8e), however, I personally think that audio is necessary (10zl-2.5e) - without it with amount of people (weekend was so crowded) you can easily get lost as it also very easy to lose numbers on the walls. It took us 3h and we had to skip last few stations due to tiredness. Tickets bought in advance online however,we still were waiting outside around 10-15min.Audio we bought inside the museum
This is a well laid out and interesting Museum. It has displays about the Warsaw uprising and also about the modern polish military force up on the second or third level. There are a number of displays that talk about the heroes of the uprising as well as the enemies. The only thing I would see that could be different would be an introductory story about the uprising for those that are not overly familiar with it, primarily tourists. I was there on a business trip and had read about the uprising previously so I had some familiarity with it, but if someone comes in and does not have familiarity with it then there is not really a story that details what it is about, how it started, and other details. A graphic with a timeline would have been super helpful
The Museum gives a glimpse of the uprising, with so much documentation and many interesting stories. It gave me better understanding of the battle of the Polish people in defense of their independence, their freedom, and their sense of identity.
It's a really cool place, that's for sure, but if you want to actually spend time reading everything (and there is a LOAD to read), it's not really... accommodating. A load of sounds, very dark, many bright/contrasting lights. I walked in knowing nothing and fine and walked out still knowing nothing with a headache. But the layout is very visually interesting, and I bet the texts are very good, but I gave up on reading them after the first few 'stations' because I genuinely couldn't focus 🤷♂️
Pretty wordy museum, like there are a lot of things to read about. I like that they try to make it as interactive as possible so there are things to do to relieve you from reading too much, but it needs some maintenance for sure cause some interactive features didn’t work.
