👍👍 Stumbled upon this place. Really enjoyed our visit and spent well over an hour there. Displays and presentations were well done and very informative. This helped us further appreciate what we were seeing in Old Town and helped us understand the great resilience and pride of the Polish people. So gla...

    A very interesting place, showing Warsaw, its war destruction and reconstruction. Interesting multimedia, very interesting curators presenting the collections very well. I was there in the middle of the week (Wednesday), there were no queues, you could easily talk to the curators about the exhibition and the history of the city.

    A small museum in one of the side streets of the old town. It is part of the museum system of the city of Warsaw. Mostly, enlarged old photographs of old Warsaw before and after the destruction of the city, as well as the process and stages of the reconstruction of the old city core, are exhibited.

    Interesting but small museum describing the destruction and reconstruction of the Warsaw old town around the time of the second world war. There is a small fee for entrance.

  • 5/5 Вікторія �. 3 months ago on Google • 311 reviews New
    If you are interested in the history and reconstruction of Warsaw, you should definitely visit this museum. Although the museum is small, it is quite informative. Many photos and videos from the post-war years. Free entry on Thursday. Must visit!

    The interesting hall resembles old markets, worth visiting

  • 4/5 Belog 3 months ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    We were here on a free admission day, so I highly recommend it. However, if I had to pay for the entrance, I would feel a bit disappointed, there are too few exhibits, the museum only has photos.

  • 3/5 Chief S. 1 month ago on Google • 48 reviews New
    Half of it is in ruins, destroyed Warsaw, very little about the reconstruction or progress of the plans. Most materials on the touch screen, which is broken (it clicks itself), the second one is disabled. The ladies at the reception watch movies about cats on the computer.

    Great little museum. Packed with information, but not overwhelmingly so. Very good presentation of the photos throughout, especially the "Before, 'During', and After" part (aside from the storage of the chairs and placement of tables somewhat cutting off the bottom corners). Well worth a visit. <1 hour to make your way through it.

    Place showing photos of devastated Warsaw in 1944.

  • 4/5 Dorothy M. 8 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    It is worth visiting on a day when admission is free, but if I came on a day when admission is paid, I would be very disappointed. There are very few museum exhibits. Most of the exhibitions are photos of pre-war Warsaw and the ruins of Warsaw after the war. The history of the reconstruction of the Old Town.

    A well-built place where you can discover the major rebuilding process of the old town. Educational.

    A place worth seeing and getting to know. Many archival photos and films documenting the reconstruction of Warsaw's Old Town. Good for big and small.

    A walk along the Trail of Old Town Cellars - when we arrive, we are informed that there are no vacancies. There was no information about tickets on the website. Congratulations on the terrible organization of the event.
