(Translated by Google) A modern museum that tells the tragic history of the Soviet crime against Polish officers. A significant part of the exhibition shows the personal belongings of the victims, found during the exhumation works. Admission to the museum is free, I recommend renting an audio guide for PLN 10. The museum area itself is also a great example of modern architecture. The entire architectural layout is full of symbolic elements which, together with the exhibition, create a comprehensive picture of these tragic events. (Original) Nowoczesne muzeum, opowiadające tragiczną historię sowieckiej zbrodni na polskich oficerach. Znacząca część ekspozycji przedstawia rzeczy osobiste ofiar, znalezione podczas prac ekshumacyjnych. Wstęp do muzeum jest bezpłatny, polecam wypożyczyć audioprzewodnik za 10 zł. Również sam teren muzeum jest świetnym przykładem nowoczesnej architektury. Całe założenie architektoniczne pełne jest symbolicznych elementów, które razem z ekspozycją tworzą całościowy obraz tych tragicznych wydarzeń.

A place reminiscent of a grim crime...

(Translated by Google) Amazing place that must be visited. The unique atmosphere of the surroundings and the museum itself make an electrifying impression. This place encourages reflection and reflection on the events that took place in Katyn 80 years ago. You can get here by walking around the Citadel or by car to the gate itself, where there is a small, free parking lot. Admission to the museum is free. There is also a free toilet on site. (Original) Niesamowite miejsce, które koniecznie trzeba odwiedzić. Wyjątkowa atmosfera otoczenia jak i samego muzeum robią piorunujące wrażenie. Miejsce to skłania do zadumy i refleksji na temat wydarzeń jakie 80 lat temu rozegrały się w Katyniu. Można tutaj dotrzeć spacerując po terenie pobliskiej Cytadeli lub dojeżdżając samochodem do samej bramy, gdzie znajduje się niewielki, bezpłatny parking. Wstęp do muzeum jest bezpłatny. Na miejscu dostępna również bezpłatna toaleta.

Professional, balanced exhibition. Great eyes-opening experience for foreigners. Must see museum in Warsaw. Professional guide. One BIG thing to correct - English language info needed everywhere, missing with respect to some key information foreigners might not understand. Maybe info in Russian and German would be necessary too.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place worth visiting. Especially if you want to expand your knowledge. (Original) Bardzo ciekawe miejsce warte odwiedzenia. Szczególnie jeśli chcesz poszerzyć swoją wiedzę.

Free to visit and Quite an experience and a reminder of how much Poland had scrificed during the WW1 and WW2 , yet Poland hasn't been greatly appreciated for its efforts and sacrifices .

Very well done presentation of the 1939 war atrocity. Grounds around historic fort are beautiful.

I couldn't get inside because of the pandemic.but I can feel the magnificent momentum and historical significance of the museum. To forget history is to betray oneself, and the Polish government has done very well.

Fascinating museum telling the story of Soviet atrocities committed against the Poles. Some quite sobering finds are on display that were taken from communal graves. Text is mostly in Polish, but some in English. One exhibit is Russian military weaponry fired into Ukraine in 2022 invasion.

Admission to the museum is free, but it lacks English translations and has poor signal reception, making it inconvenient to use online translation. Despite this, the museum successfully creates a chilling atmosphere that evokes a sense of fear during exploration of wartime history. It provides a clear documentation of the repulsive political maneuvers surrounding the Katyn Forest Massacre. If you want a complete guided tour, you can rent an audio guide for 15 Polish zlotys.

The museum itself contains a nice compilation of historical facts. However, it was an employee distributing the audio guides making this visit unbearable. He not only misguided me starting the audio guide right away skipping some initial parts, later on he also enforced me to attach sth to the device. Manners please...

Devastating in all the worst ways. This museum is phenomenal. The layout is thoughtfully considered, organized chronologically. At the end, you find yourself asking, "that's it? Where's the greater apology?" Free admission! Only part I have issue with was the lack of English translations of 90%+ signs/exhibits. This, however, was only an issue for one person in my group. If you cannot read Polish, consider an audio-guide - though I can't say anything about it as I didn't use one. Incredibly necessary in this day and age.

Memorial to the victims of the Katyn massacre, has a large collection of personal items found at the sites Text is only in Polish but there are audio guides available so make sure you pick one up if you aren’t comfortable in your Polish. Audio guide takes about 30-40 minutes and needs to be returned 15 mins before closing.

The museum’s artifacts are rather incommensurate given that Katyń was one of the most significant events in WWII history. The items also had no English translation - you have to buy the audiobook, and even that did not explain everything on display. There were also no explanations for many striking architectural qualities of the grounds. I was a bit disappointed.

(Translated by Google) A place that shows the Soviet crimes committed on Poles. The Katyn Museum is the first martyrdom, museum and research facility in the world documenting the Katyn massacre, committed on 22,000 prisoners and prisoners held in Soviet camps and prisons in 1939 - 1940. It also seems to be the only militaris exhibition - on a global scale - a kind of PROOF OF CRIME and commemorating the martyrdom of Polish army officers. (Original) Miejsce, które ukazuje zbrodnie sowieckie dokonane na Polakach. Muzeum Katyńskie to pierwsza w świecie placówka martyrologiczno – muzealno – badawcza dokumentująca zbrodnię katyńską, popełnioną na 22 tysiącach jeńców i więźniów przetrzymywanych w latach 1939 – 1940 w sowieckich obozach i więzieniach. Stanowi także, jak się wydaje, jedyną ekspozycję o charakterze militaris – w skali globalnej, będącą – swoistym DOWODEM ZBRODNI i upamiętniającą martyrologię oficerów rodzimej armii.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum about the Katyn massacre. Very modern. Exhibitions are multimedia and collections are rich. Tickets are free! recommend (Original) Bardzo ciekawe muzeum o zbrodni katyńskiej. Bardzo nowoczesne. Wystawy są multimedialne a zbiory bogate. Bilety bezpłatne! Polecam

Free museum. There Is a lot of information for independent visitors. You may rent an audioguide for 10 pln if you want.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful museum located in the caponier of the Warsaw Citadel telling about a terrible crime committed by the USSR on Polish citizens. There are many everyday objects of the murdered found at the place of their burial. It is a must see if the memory of these people and the events of those times is to survive. As it is a martyrdom center of the Polish nation, admission is free. (Original) Wspaniałe muzeum ulokowane w kaponierze Cytadeli Warszawskiej opowiadające o straszliwej zbrodni dokonanej przez ZSRR na obywatelach Polski. Przedstawionych jest mnóstwo przedmiotów dnia codziennego pomordowanych odnalezionych w miejscu ich pochówku. Koniecznie trzeba zobaczyć, aby pamięć o tych ludziach i wydarzeniach tamtych czasów przetrwała. Jako, że jest to placówka martyrologiczna narodu polskiego to wstęp jest bezpłatny.

(Translated by Google) Extremely interesting, although little popularized Museum. You can feel the atmosphere of this place and the events of those years. (Original) Niezwykle ciekawe, aczkolwiek mało rozpropagowane Muzeum. Czuć klimat tego miejsca i wydarzeń tamtych lat.

(Translated by Google) Crime committed by the Soviet Union on the Polish Nation. A must-visit place on the trail of a difficult and tragic but full of heroism and hope of Polish history. (Original) Zbrodnia dokonana przez Związek Radziecki na Narodzie Polskim. Obowiązkowe miejsce do odwiedzenia na szlaku trudnej i tragicznej, ale pełnej heroizmu i nadziei historii Polski.

(Translated by Google) Modern, super-furnished, with a rich museum collection, should be a must see on the map of visiting the capital (Original) Nowoczesne super urządzone o bogatych zbiorach muzeum, powinno być punktem obowiązkowym na mapie zwiedzania stolicy polecam

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum full of history. Entry is free. Not many tourists know about its existence, or they don't think it is as interesting as the very popular museum of the Warsaw Uprising or the Polina, but I recommend going there. A very nice display. (Original) Piękne muzeum pełne historii. Wejście jest darmowe. Niewiele turystów wie o jego istnieniu, albo nie wydaje im się aby było tak ciekawe jak bardzo popularne np. muzeum powstania warszawskiego czy polin, ale polecam się tam wybrać. Bardzo ładna ekspozycja.

(Translated by Google) Museum showing the Katyn massacre. Very eloquent in form (twilight), terrifying at times in content. A must for everyone! (Original) Muzeum pokazujące zbrodnię katyńską. Bardzo wymowne w formie (półmrok), przerażające momentami w treści. Punkt obowiązkowy dla każdego!

(Translated by Google) An interesting place commemorating the Russian, Soviet genocide on Poles during World War II. Also the history of the Katyn lie. A piece of history that you need to know. An exhibition of exhibits and books in fairly dark rooms to create the impression of being below. He doesn't mention Mackiewicz - it's a serious lack. (Original) Ciekawe miejsce upamiętniające rosyjskie, sowieckie ludobójstwo na Polakach w czasie II wojny światowej. Także dzieje kłamstwa katyńskiego. Kawał historii, którą trzeba znać. Wystawa eksponatów i książek w dość ciemnych pomieszczeniach dla stworzenia wrażenia znajdowania się w dole. Nie wspomina o Mackiewiczu - to poważny brak.

If you go to Warsaw and miss this museum, your head has more holes than a swiss cheese.

Was closed and didn’t communicate the closure on either the website or somewhere else. Only a sign in front of the door saying:”We are closed today.” Came back the next day. Same thing only with an altered date. How can they not hang up both dates on the first day? Hated it.

Not all descriptions has English translation, which makes it hard to understand some texts. Some days of week it's for free of charge you can check in internet for which days it's free and visit museum. But overall staff were friendly and helpful.

Sad story that needs to be told. Very well done. Wish there were a few more things explained in English.

I only went to see some exhibits that are actually in another museum. Parking would be a problem.

Important and great museum. Very good guides.

It was the best history lesson of my life!

An overwhelming place. A must visit.

Saturday, a good day to visit this place, admission is free, do not ask for money and carries an audio guitar, and after that you can walk around the territory and go along the river bank and enjoy the walk

The museum offers a comprehensive and emotionally stirring experience for visitors, providing historical context through informative exhibits, artifacts, photographs, and multimedia presentations. The layout of the museum is thoughtfully designed to guide visitors through the sequence of events leading up to the massacre, the tragic aftermath, and the enduring legacy of remembrance. One of the museum's most compelling features is its dedication to preserving the memory of the victims as individuals, rather than mere statistics. Through personal stories, letters, and belongings, visitors gain a profound understanding of the human toll of this atrocity. Most of the information is in Polish only, it would be better to add English for foreigners.

A museum worth visiting.

It's impressive, I recommend it

Worth visiting, a big plus is that there are no fees

Architecture was stunning, museum tells the story of the massacre in a very poignant way.

One of the most dramatic events of WWII needed a museum to be depicted and narrated. Great work done at a historical place. Non-Polish speakers are advised to rent an audio-guide, as almost everything is written in Polish.

The museum is interesting both in terms of space and content (lots of exhibits, they make a great impression), the only minor drawback is that people with poor eyesight may have problems reading the boards on the walls).

An extremely important place. This place is a testimony. I have been there several times and each time I left moved and much more aware. One part of the permanent exhibition contains all information about the Katyn Massacre, the other - items that belonged to the victims. This museum speaks without words, it is one of the places that are really worth booking a few hours for in Warsaw... Admission is free, everyone can and should come and see it with their own eyes.

It's worth it. Admission is free.

one of the most interesting museums I have ever visited.

The museum is very atmospheric, thought-provoking, with descriptions of many facts and events. An overwhelming amount of the victims' personal belongings.

Essential

An excellent place to visit and to learn about the history of Poland. During the communist era. It's free on Saturday

Most of exhibitions are in Polish only, although there is audio guide available, it's not detailed enough. It would be great if there will be English information in the future.

(Translated by Google) One of those touching places that commemorates history and people that were meant to be demanded from the collective consciousness. The story focuses on the entire extensive subject of the Katyn massacre and its genesis, interwoven with artifacts belonging to the murdered. (Original) Jedno tych wzruszających miejsc, które upamiętnia historię i osoby, które miały zostać wymagane ze zbiorowej świadomości. Historia skupia się na całej obszernej tematyce zbrodni katyńskiej oraz jej genezie, w które wplecione są artefakty należące do pomordowanych.

I found it a beautiful place to remember those killed during the war. They also did well to make visitors feel the seriousness of the mass killings. However they didn't have most things written in English so for people who don't speak the Polish language its not enjoyable.

Barley any description in English most of it in Polish. Extremely poor ventilation. However atmosphere is depressing which is exactly what should be felt in that visit. Very depressing events that happened to the Polish people that should never be forgotten. Also need 10 PLN in cash for audio guide.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place. A well-renovated facility with a very interesting exhibition. I would recommend! (Original) Bardzo interesujące miejsce. Świetnie odnowiony obiekt z bardzo ciekawą ekspozycją. Polecam!

Good and educational place

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing (Original) Warto zobaczyć

ok

New museum with huge potential in climate cellars os old russian fortress, however with multiple flaws, scarce in English explanations and no other than polish and some English. Logical mistakes, many due to young age of museum. Entrance is free. Huge set of artefacts, interesting stories.

Super

Good museum

Poignant memorial to a dark period in Polish history. Not all signs have an English translation, however

Useful information about history, unfortunately not everything has been written in English

Good view.

Katyn Forest (not far from Smolensk) - one of the places of execution.

This is,a humbling and educational experience. Do ensure that you rent the audio guide if you don't speak Polish as the signage is mainly in Polish. If you're truly into the history, give yourself a good 3 hours. Definitely worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Important commemoration of history. (Original) Ważne upamiętnienie historii.

Worth visiting.

Poignant experience - the exhibition includes a beautiful display of thousands of personal items dug out of the mass graves in Katyn and the other places where the Russians killed some 21,000 Poles - military, political, scientist - the intelligentsia of Poland in 1940, by order of Stalin. Making 21,000 murders personal is impossible but each of the thousands of personal items is displayed and lit in its own little clay box, forcing you to consider what it is, where it came from, and what is says of its owner. Unfortunately, English translations are only sporadically present...

The new building of the museum, inaugurated in 2015, is beautiful and is worth seeing (and it's free). However there's nothing in English and when I visited (during Covid) it was impossible to use interactive screens (but I don't know if they were available in English). That's too bad.

(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibition, big piece of history. (Original) Ciekawa wystawa, duży kawałek historii.

The monument and museum is very interesting. The only thing a lot info is just in Polish. But still it was one of the best museums.
