    The General Kukliński Memorial Room is located at the back of the Cathedral of St. Jana in Warsaw's Old Square. City. It was founded in 2006 by Józef Szaniawski. You can visit from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., visiting time approx. 45 minutes. A must-see.

    Anyone who wants to know the truth about the military plans of the Warsaw Pact countries, which intended to destroy Europe (and Poland!) in the fire of nuclear war, must visit the Museum of the Chamber of Memory of Colonel Ryszard Kukliński! The museum is small, but very informative: we saw a real map of the General Staff with directions of attack on European countries, a film about the life of Ryszard Kukliński, who went through a difficult moral choice: to serve the Soviet nuclear plans, or to serve the liberation of Poland; learned about the dramatic life of the hero and about today's attitude towards him. Thanks to Mr. Pavel for an interesting excursion! ...visiting is free

    An interesting exhibition despite the small space and the way it is used to present it. What impressed me most was the map of Europe with the plans for the attack of the Warsaw Pact troops, perhaps thanks to the interesting story of a museum employee who knows a lot and willingly shares his knowledge. I recommend!

    You have to come here. A modern story about history, an explanation of General Kuklinski's mission, and for dessert - fun in VR goggles

    Having chosen a branch of the main street, we came to the museum by accident. The price is low (for its level) and the museum itself is rich in written, visual and multimedia content. It definitely beats all the museums we visited that day that were included in the plan. I will even go so far as to say that it is definitely the top when it comes to war museums. A must-see when visiting Warsaw. VR stations are the icing on the cake - the stations are professionally organized and have two original, thematic games. A tribute should also be paid to the uniforms of the staff, who are incredibly polite, helpful and sincerely happy to see the museum's guests.

    (Translated by Google) A great place, a very interesting story presented by the guide in a very good way, many interesting facts and interactions with the audience. I really recommend you to go and learn about the history of this amazing man to whom the chamber was dedicated. I will definitely come back! (Original) Świetne miejsce, bardzo ciekawa historia przedstawiona przez Pana Przewodnika w bardzo dobry sposób, wiele ciekawostek i interakcji ze słuchającymi. Naprawdę polecam się wybrać i zapoznać z historią tego niesamowitego człowieka któremu izba została poświęcona. Ja na pewno będę wracać!

    (Translated by Google) I recommend a visit to this museum to anyone interested in military, recent history of Poland and the world, and the history of General Ryszard Kukliński 🙂. During the visit, you can put on VR glasses and feel like a spy. (Original) Polecam wizytę w tym muzeum wszystkim zainteresowanym militariami, historią najnowszą Polski i świata oraz historią generała Ryszarda Kuklińskiego 🙂. Podczas wizyty można założyć okulary VR i poczuć się jak szpieg.

    (Translated by Google) I encourage you to visit this tiny museum. Our guide has already announced that the museum will be moved to a larger venue, but so far this space is full of history that everyone should know. In May 2022, the entrance was free. I heartily recommend! (Original) Zachęcam do wizyty w tym maleńkim muzeum. Nasz przewodnik zapowiedział już przeniesienie muzeum do większego lokalu, ale póki co ta przestrzeń jest maksymalnie nasycona historią, którą każdy powinien poznać. W maju 2022 wejście było darmowe. Serdecznie polecam!

    On the plus side: + a very interesting private museum + you can both acquire a very large portion of knowledge, you can also go through the exhibition, looking only at its most interesting elements + lots of multimedia elements + it is worth booking 2-3 hours for sightseeing On the downside: - I found out about ticket prices only when I got there, I couldn't find this information on the website - no additional discounts such as KDR, blood donors or soldiers or veterans

  • 5/5 Meziane M. 8 months ago on Google • 87 reviews
    A must-visit for history buffs! The museum will be moved and expanded to cover the entire Cold War and how it was experienced in Poland. The museum manager is passionate, he tells a lot of anecdotes and speaks English very well. I highly recommend going there from the new opening in November 2023!

    Incredible general manager Paweł who did a small tour! It’s the very case when he can’t stop speaking about his life desire, and you just can’t stop listening to him🥰 Thanks a lot!

    Very good museum summarizing the Cold War

  • 5/5 Kay B. 1 month ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Very interesting museum about the role of Poland during the Cold War. I strongly recommend visiting this place to everyone interested in history. Also, the multimedia installations are cool, especially the VR experience!

    Great history lesson! I HIGHLY recommend taking a tour with Mr. Paweł - a man with enormous knowledge and an obvious sense of his mission as an educator!

    Amazing mini museum dedicated to the great man. I visited this place with my partner who is not Polish but had heard of General Kuklinski and wanted to find out more. The gentleman who runs the place showed us around and told us many things that we did not know yet. He is very kind and professional at what he does. We were very impressed with his knowledge and personal culture. Great experience. I highly recommend.

    Petit musée situé au coeur de Varsovie dans la vieille ville pas très visible. Il s'agit d'un musée consacré à un héros polonais de la période guerre froide. La visite se fait avec un guide qui nous explique toute son histoire dans les détails ainsi que les contextes politique et militaires de la guerre froide autour de cartes et de vidéos. L'entrée est gratuite, le guide parle polonais ou anglais. Durée de la visite entre 40 à 60 minutes environ. Le guide est très sympa et s'exprime très bien en anglais.

    (Translated by Google) Revelation. This should be mandatory for school trips. It is unbelievable how knowledgeable the guide is. I recommend to all who love Poland. And not only. (Original) Rewelacja. To powinno być obowiązkowe dla wycieczek szkolnych. Niewiarygodne jak dużą wiedzę posiada przewodnik. Polecam wszystkim kochającym Polskę. I nie tylko.

    Great place! We went as a family with two children (7 and 9). There was an opportunity to talk a little about history, but also a lot of entertainment (VR games). The museum itself is much larger in terms of time and number of experiences and the richness of its exhibitions than it seems on the street. It has an interesting layout (lots of passages and nooks in the original cellars of the old town). Take it easy for 2 hours of careful sightseeing (less if you don't go into details, but it's worth doing). Great service, lots of interesting facts and interactions. Definitely in the trend of modern museums that are supposed to teach something through good entertainment. A strong new place on the tourist map of Warsaw. It's worth it!

    Kudos to Mr. Paweł for a fantastic and very interesting lecture during the tour. One of the best, if not the best guide I have ever listened to.
