Posted on GoogleRafał M30 October 2026The building itself is impressive with a beautiful terrace overlooking Warsaw. I recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRafzyzna29 October 2026"What is this queue for?" - it is worth seeing the history of the Polish People's Republic through the prism of music and musical events.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTom G26 October 2026It's a great place, but the staff are gems. Ms. Zosia at the information desk and the man reading the book from the National Library are role models of how to approach and interact with guests. The only downside is the restrooms—so clean they hurt your eyes. Unfortunately, I was alone in the restroom, and after a while, the lights went out everywhere in the cabin. I was stressed like a crazy coyote, and I won't tell you what I did to get scared. It took me five minutes to get out of the maze.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleLucyna C25 October 2026I highly recommend the exhibition "What's Behind This Queue?" It explores the Polish People's Republic in the context of music and everyday life. The well-organized exhibition takes us chronologically from the end of the war to the fall of communism in Poland. It also features a wealth of multimedia, so it's worth setting aside at least three hours for your visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTatiana T23 October 2026Wonderful temporary exhibition! Musical! 1 hour wasn't enough. Highly recommended! Free admission on Friday.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMariusz R20 October 2026Posted on GoogleMarcin B17 October 2026a great museum as well as the entire museum complex consisting of 4 museums, I was at the exhibition about entertainment during the communist era, it was really great and the museum itself was really nicely done.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAlexey L16 October 2026A magnificent modern building. A majestic atrium. Lots of interesting things!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZbi M14 October 2026Modern architecture and impressive spaces. A great rooftop terrace. Convenient parking. A nice cinema. An interesting temporary exhibition. The permanent one is still closed. But parking is expensive and discouraging. Perhaps it would be worth offering a discount for purchased exhibition or cinema tickets. The architect built open spaces for people, but the staff covers the glass railings with tape, puts up signs saying "this, that, you can't," and yells at visitors. If someone thinks a part of the building is dangerous to people, why is it allowed to be used? The premise of modern architecture is accessibility and accessibility. In my opinion, the architect has already taken care of this. Administration, it's worth reconsidering. Perhaps an audit?
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePatryk9 October 2026The "Music in the Polish People's Republic" exhibition is well put together. The rooftop viewing terrace is also a plus.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIzabella G8 October 2026Posted on GoogleAdam C7 October 2026Posted on GoogleIga3 October 2026The interior is very aesthetic, with a terrace at the top offering a stunning view. Temporary exhibitions are organized, as well as a permanent exhibition.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleВікторія В2 October 2026A large modern building, lots of space and air. But there is no permanent exhibition. Only a temporary exhibition. Renovations are underway. The best views are from the roof. Admission is free on Fridays
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKrzysztof Z1 October 2026A complete surprise! I had no idea such a cool museum was right on my doorstep! I highly recommend it to everyone, there are plenty of exhibits for everyone.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgnieszka J28 September 2026A wonderful park, few people. The History Museum building is stunning, with beautiful interiors. The view from the roof terrace is breathtaking.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJakub C25 September 2026Well, it's a monumental place, and we'll have to wait a while for the permanent exhibition. It's not my cup of tea at the moment, though it's worth a visit and forming your own opinion. The current temporary exhibition—what's the queue for?—is nice, but it's just a speck in the context of the entire facility.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKamil C21 September 2026Posted on GoogleОксана Ш20 September 2026Interesting, huge and very interactivePosted on GoogleMarta M15 September 2026I really like the museum building, the observation deck, and the temporary exhibition I saw, "What's This Queue Standing For?" was wonderful. I'm really looking forward to the permanent exhibition opening to visitors, supposedly in 2027.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRafał S15 September 2026A beautiful monumental building and observation deck, but only one exhibition for now, as the rest are in preparation. The bookstore is open, but the bistro isn't yet open.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTadeusz S9 September 2026A new place on the map of Warsaw. I came from Łódź for the temporary exhibition. I recommend seeing the new building. As for what's inside, it depends on what you see. We went to "What's That Queue Standing For?"
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKatarzyna9 September 2026Beautifully maintained, modern, constantly expanding its exhibition.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAliaksandr S9 September 2026Posted on GoogleJanusz7 September 2026Posted on GoogleAdrianna J6 September 2026Today, my family and I visited the Polish History Museum. We started with a children's cinema and workshops, then a temporary exhibition. The building made a huge impression on us. The space is huge, minimalist, but with a wonderful atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. I recommend it to everyone!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleBartłomiej S29 August 2026A building with character, ideally situated for a project of this caliber. Massive and majestic.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIwona L18 August 2026Posted on GoogleMarcin K17 August 2026The museum itself is still closed. And when will it open? The information I received suggests an approximate date of June 2027. But that's not the point either. You can see the building itself, which is open to the public, along with the observation deck overlooking Warsaw. I highly recommend it!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMusikant8 August 2026The museum is still preparing for the exhibition. Currently (August 2026), the observation deck is free to visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMaksymilian7 August 2026I give it a 5 on the Google scale (exceptional). The most unique thing about this museum is probably that it doesn't have any exhibits ;) , but you can go up to the observation deck at the top and see what Warsaw looks like.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTga6 August 2026The museum building is quite large, but there are no exhibitions currently on display. Preparations for an exhibition are underway, and it is planned to open in September 2026. Check the exhibition status before visiting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRoger C3 August 2026Can also visit the Polish Army Museum next door and the Katyn Massacre museum in the same compoundPosted on GoogleEm D1 August 2026Many people cry because the museum is empty and they don't realize that it's not finished yet xD Great location, beautiful view from the roof terrace, beautiful building, I'm waiting for the permanent exhibition, I'm waiting for them to open it for real :)
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAleksandra K31 July 2026Posted on GoogleEwelina N28 July 2026Great place and very modern. The staff are very nice and helpful.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleSławomir26 July 2026It's hard to evaluate something that doesn't exist yet... The building is there. The terrace is there. The staff is there. The shop is there. Nothing else for today. Zero. And the elevators weren't working yet. I'll wait for the display so I can assess the contents, not just the packaging. The building is huge, original, and worthy. The shopkeeper is friendly and has a large selection of books and gadgets.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePiotr Z24 July 2026I highly recommend the Citadel as a place of Polish history, the beautiful, tragic story of the partition period. It's worth visiting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDaniel “22 July 2026Posted on GoogleK18 July 2026I happened to arrive just as the new exhibition was being built, and the previous one was no longer open. However, you can still see the building (very modern and impressive) and go to the observation deck.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTomek K1 July 2026Much larger space than the previous location, but it's clear that only a portion of the collection is accessible. Tickets are a bit too expensive for such a short tour.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleOlcia W23 June 2026We go to the cinema there on weekend mornings. The interior is beautiful. It's true that it's the only museum we've ever been to where there's not a single exhibition, and it's unclear why it exists, but for the cinema itself, we're grateful it existed. Every detail shows the enormous amount of money spent, a typical Polish "get ready and get ready" attitude. 😁 But it's beautiful, what more can I say? 😉
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarek J11 June 2026The Polish History Museum at the Warsaw Citadel is one of the most modern museums in Poland and a place worth visiting, regardless of your general interest in history. The building itself is impressive in its architecture, space, and scale. The core exhibition spans over 1,000 years of Polish history – from the beginnings of the state, through the Jagiellonian dynasty, the partitions, regaining independence, World War II, the Polish People's Republic, and on to the present day. A major advantage is the modern multimedia, interactive exhibits, original exhibits, and a very accessible way of presenting even difficult historical events. A leisurely visit is worth spending a few hours. Many elements have been designed to be engaging for children and young people, making it more than just a typical museum where you just browse display cases. An additional advantage is its location in the Warsaw Citadel – a place of immense historical significance, linked to the period of partition and the fight for Poland's independence. After the tour, it's worth visiting the observation deck and strolling around the entire complex. This place showcases Polish history in a modern, engaging, and thoughtful way. It's one of Warsaw's most important museum attractions, definitely worth seeing.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgnieszka S6 June 2026Posted on GoogleAlex K4 June 2026Great view from the roof. Unfortunately, the exhibition is still under construction.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRadek S30 May 2026The Polish History Museum is a place where time does not pass – it speaks. Each room becomes a story, and each exhibit carries the echo of the generations that shaped the fate of our country. This is no ordinary museum. It is a journey through the memory of a nation, presented with extraordinary sensitivity, panache, and respect for history. Modern form harmoniously intertwines with tradition, making the past relatable and moving, even for those just discovering its significance. Walking through the exhibitions, you can feel pride, emotion, and reflection. The museum not only teaches facts – it allows you to understand people, their dreams, sacrifice, and courage. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, creating a space brimming with inspiration and respect for Poland's heritage. This is a place that lingers in the memory long after you leave. A true cultural gem, a bridge connecting the past with the future, and one of the most beautiful tributes to our nation's history.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleSkyboy X16 May 2026The place is impressive, especially the stories told by the guide and the prisoners' cells. I recommend listening to the story.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleКристина М10 May 2026Posted on GoogleHau S9 May 2026Still under construction and preparation, with some exhibitions still closed to visitors, but the building itself, its structure, the viewing point, the staircase, and the surroundings (the Warsaw Citadel, the Military Museum, and the Katyń Memorial) make a positive impression. And the bistro – a plus.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleBogusław G4 May 2026A historical point on the map of the capital, easy to reach or walk, you can relax well, they have their own kitchen and dinners
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleΠαναγιωτης Α26 April 2026Unfortunately the only exhibition open is the one in the ground floor. Everything else is still under construction.Posted on GoogleBartosz N22 April 2026Very interesting and important exhibits for Polish history. It's not boring here, it's interesting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDaniel N18 April 2026A beautiful, massive building with a free Round Table on display in the ground floor room, where multimedia stories about the history of this piece of furniture are constantly being presented. Unfortunately, you won't learn the truth, but it's worth a visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJarek P12 April 2026Posted on GooglePioter29 March 2026Practically still closed. You can enter, see the Round Table, and hear about its history. There's a souvenir shop, mandatory cloakroom, and restrooms. Parking is no problem, with a large parking lot available.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleVitalii28 March 2026We were at the museum, but unfortunately, out of all the exhibitions, only one was open, and only in Polish. "THE ROUND TABLE. A MOMENT OF TRANSITION." Therefore, I don't recommend going there yet. We were told that most of the exhibitions had not yet opened. So it's better to visit the museum's website before your visit and see if there's anything interesting.Posted on GooglePawel D21 March 2026Posted on GoogleGrzegorz K19 March 2026Realized on a grand scale, at the moment only the round table can be seen.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMaja S9 March 2026Stunning modern architectural form, very high quality building construction, functional spaces, world class!!!!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePawel M9 March 2026After the military unit was liquidated, a huge building was built in the very center of the citadel, right next to the 10th pavilion of the tsarist torture chamber. However, it was not fully open to visitors. The exhibition devoted to the history of Poland was not fully open due to further works. Due to the ongoing works, only the ground floor was made available for exhibitions of visual artists, where the Round Table of the Solidarity Agreement was also presented. Cultural events are organized in the square in front of the museum, and closer to the main entrance there are several combat vehicles and tanks from previous eras, as well as two airplanes.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAntony B8 March 2026Trafiliśmy tu zaraz po wizycie w Muzeum Wojska Polskiego (które znajduje się naprzeciwko). Wstęp do muzeum był bezpłatny, ponieważ zwiedzaliśmy je w czwartek (dzień, w którym muzeum jest bezpłatne), ale w holu głównym znajdowała się tylko jedna wystawa, a sąsiednia sala była otwarta, a film wyświetlany był wyłącznie po polsku i bez angielskich napisów. Niestety, wizyta nie była dla nas interesująca, dlatego nie polecamy tego muzeum; lepszym wyborem is Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleElwira K8 March 2026The venue is huge, beautiful, spacious, and impressive. The auditorium where the performance took place is large, but the barrier was a bit of a nuisance, as we watched from the balcony. The restrooms are poorly marked and difficult to find without security. And how about getting to the parking lot to pick up your car?!?! There's no information, and at 10 p.m., the building we entered from the parking lot was closed. People were walking back and forth across the vast square, wondering where the parking entrance was. The necessary signage was missing.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTomasz M17 February 2026It's shaping up to be a fantastic project. The building itself is modern, elegant, and beautifully crafted. A big thank you to the staff; everyone is so kind and helpful, I appreciate it. I can't wait for the main exhibition to open. The "Hero Hellmuth" exhibition is interesting and thought-provoking. The "Round Table" exhibition is very symbolic, more thought-provoking than educational (there are no information boards).
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZuzanna14 February 2026best museum in Warsaw, I prefer this building to the modern gallery outside of Pałac Kultury it’s much more beautiful and better representation of Polish identity within an architectural form. The bistro was amazing too. Overall very elegant, sophisticated and cultured experience even though half of it was under construction so we didn’t even see the entirety.Posted on GooglePrzemek P9 February 2026Posted on GoogleEwa W5 February 2026Posted on GoogleAleksander K5 February 2026A beautiful and attractive building. I recommend checking out the terrace in the summer. It offers great views.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJakub P28 January 2026Posted on GooglePeppers62818 January 2026At the moment (early 2026), I have very mixed feelings. The museum itself is needed and has great potential. However, its size currently overwhelms, while there's still little happening inside for such a monumental building. Personally, I prefer a more modest and cozy interior. Perhaps in time, when the museum is fully operational, I'll change my mind. Besides, I remember, from my childhood, the beautiful park at the Citadel. Today, two monumental buildings have been erected in place of the park.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleWeronika K6 January 2026The Warsaw Citadel is an incredibly moving place, deeply impressed by its history and atmosphere. The exhibitions are modern, engaging, and thought-provoking. It's not only a history lesson but also a profound emotional experience. It's definitely worth a visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDamianos 12 January 2026A huge, historical museum that remains empty and appears undeveloped. There is no permanent exhibition, only temporary exhibitions presented in a very interesting way. Excellent educational trails. The museum relies primarily on exhibits borrowed from other venues, as well as on displays and multimedia that present the topic in a relatively engaging way. However, for a place of this size, this is simply insufficient. The second and third floors remain permanently closed to visitors. It has enormous potential, but there seems to be no plan for utilizing it or developing it. The museum is a perfect complement to the complex. A visit can be combined with a visit to other museums and memorials located in the citadel, although the museum, due to its monumental character and size, should definitely dominate the others.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDaria M28 December 2025Impressive building, wonderful viewing terrace. Just have to wait for the permanent exhibition.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleEdyta G27 December 2025Posted on GooglePiotr B26 December 2025A unique place, though still somewhat undiscovered. Definitely worth a visit.

There's also a special themed photo booth. A string quartet plays live music before, during, and after the performance. There's also a food court, and it must have good food, because a huge line of people formed there during the intermission.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleŁukasz J13 December 2025The enormous building is impressive, both from the outside and inside. It's scheduled to be completed as a museum in two years, so there's no point in rushing. For now, the restaurant is open and I recommend the coffee 👍.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJanusz L13 December 2025The opening of the Polish History Museum at the Warsaw Citadel was undoubtedly one of the most important events in the museum industry in recent years. The modern building adjoins the new headquarters of the Polish Army Museum, and together they form a complex that is a must-see for museum and history enthusiasts in Warsaw. The Polish History Museum itself is still preparing its main exhibition, but temporary exhibitions are currently available. I had the opportunity to visit the "1025. Birth of the Kingdom" exhibition, which focuses on the beginnings of Polish statehood. The exhibition tells the story of the beginnings of the Piast dynasty, the most important cultural centers, and everyday life – what people grew, what they ate, and what homes looked like at the time. The exhibition has been designed in accordance with modern museum standards – it features plenty of interactive elements, places where you can touch things, smell smells, watch multimedia, and use interactive screens. An interesting solution was the partial covering of the exhibits related to human remains – those interested could uncover them themselves, while more sensitive visitors (e.g., children) were not exposed to them. My visit fell on a free admission day, so I have no reason to complain in that regard. Regarding the content, I had seen much of the presented material before, so I wasn't particularly impressed. However, I believe that for those just learning about Polish history – such as schoolchildren or foreign tourists – the exhibition fully served its purpose. For now, I'm eagerly awaiting the opening of the main (permanent) exhibition. I recommend visiting the temporary exhibitions when their subject matter particularly interests the visitor – otherwise, you can wait for the museum to fully open.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDzieciaku13 December 2025Posted on GoogleAnna S13 December 2025It's a real shame that the museum doesn't have a permanent exhibition yet, but the building itself, the staff, the convenient parking lot, the library—it's simply stunning. I can't wait for the full opening of this place.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRemigiusz S12 December 2025Posted on GoogleGrzegorz L9 December 2025It's a museum. In a museum, there are exhibits and people. People look at the exhibits. They don't look at the exhibits.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleStephane R6 December 2025Beautiful architecture that will house several galleries and an observation deck with panoramic views of the city in 2027. Very modern!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDariusz K2 December 2025The Polish History Museum makes a huge impression from the very first moment, thanks to its modern architecture and spacious interiors. The exhibitions are well-thought-out, interactive, and guide visitors through the most important moments of Polish history in an engaging and clear way. The multimedia presentations are particularly impressive, allowing for a better understanding of the historical context and the emotions surrounding the events. The collections are extensive, and the museum's narrative highlights both the glorious and challenging moments of our history. The staff is helpful and well-prepared, further enhancing the positive experience. This place is definitely worth a visit for both history enthusiasts and those seeking an inspiring perspective on Poland's past.

The Birth of the Kingdom - Polish History Museum in Warsaw. Temporary exhibition. Objects dating back a thousand years from top museums across Poland, including the Archaeological Museum in Gdańsk, the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State in Gniezno, and many others. The state of preservation and presentation of the objects is very good; you can see, hear, touch, and even smell many things. For me, the most important thing was to try to understand the thought processes of our ancestors, to see and imagine how they lived on the border between the pagan and emerging Christian eras.

I had the opportunity to see a temporary exhibition devoted to Tadeusz Kościuszko. It was an interesting and well-executed exhibition, but it's clear that it's still a temporary solution. A big plus is the very friendly and helpful staff. I'll definitely be back when the permanent exhibition is finally completed, and there's a good chance my rating will improve, as the place has great potential, and I hope it will be realized.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKatarzyna G6 October 2025Although the exhibition is still rather sparse, the building and grounds are impressive. On warm days, a trip to the observation deck is a must, as is a visit to the many facets of Warsaw. The deck is free. We also sometimes use the paid underground parking lot, even if we just want to stroll around the area.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleArkadiusz Z27 September 2025A very interesting place, perfect for conducting history lessons 👍🥰
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleSzymon P26 September 2025The permanent exhibition is still in preparation, but the roof terrace is fantastic.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna T23 September 2025The building is monumental, and if you see it for the first time in winter, as I did, it's gloomy. However, it's even more beautiful in the sunshine. The surroundings facing the Citadel walls are charming, with plenty of greenery and benches. Inside, the museum offers plenty of space, including a bistro, restaurant, shop, and observation deck! I've been to both the temporary exhibition and the workshops. I've been browsing the temporary exhibitions, strolling around, and waiting for the permanent exhibition to open. I recommend the lunch of the day at the bistro; the set menu with lemonade costs 29 PLN (price as of September 20, 2025; I had the vegetarian version, delicious!)
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMiro W22 September 2025The Polish History Museum has been operating on the premises of the Citadel since September 2023. It presents the Birth of the Kingdom of Poland today. The building consists of 4 floors above ground and 2 underground. There is a viewing terrace on the roof.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna B20 September 2025Posted on GoogleAndrea D19 September 2025Suggestive and inspired atmosphere, also recommended is the terrace from which to enjoy the skyline
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleEwela K19 September 2025Interesting places, currently in the hall there is an exhibition from the series 1670.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleWarsaw B15 September 2025Very impressive architecture with enormous potential, but for now there is no permanent exhibition, only a temporary one. On the roof is a spacious viewing terrace overlooking all of Warsaw.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgnieszka K13 September 2025Posted on GoogleWiktor O12 September 2025A beautiful temporary exhibition, although I recommend waiting until the main exhibition is completed. The library on the ground floor is also worth visiting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKyungchae H29 August 2025It is a museum built on a massive scale. I heard it newly relocated here in September 2023, but right now, there are exhibits only in a small part of the first floor. I am extremely disappointed because there isn't much to see. I'm sure the exhibits will be filled in later... but the transportation is inconvenient... Honestly, I am speechless.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePawel G28 August 2025It's a cool place, but unfortunately, many of the exhibits aren't finished yet. I still recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePiotr N21 August 2025The most magnificent view in Warsaw. I highly recommend it to everyone.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleEmilia Z20 August 2025I suspect that when the exhibition opens in 2026, the museum's ratings will rise significantly. Currently, the "exhibition" at the entrance is open, and the wind is howling. I award the fourth star for the wonderful observation deck—the view is simply heavenly. Among the downsides, I'd include the lack of trees and other vegetation in the square in front of the museum.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJackus P19 August 2025It might look beautiful from the visitors' perspective. I was there with a delivery, meaning from the back. The facility costs millions, has beautiful entrances to the underground, and unloading was in a great atmosphere. But leaving in a large car, a workout, and driving in reverse, through the entry gates! Overall, I recommend it, wander around and explore, but with a delivery, it's the same.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePatryk W17 August 2025A vast, ultramodern, six-story museum, with a total area of over 44,000 square meters. Unfortunately, its main part—the permanent exhibition—is still under construction. As of September 2023, visitors can visit regularly scheduled temporary exhibitions, take one of the elevators to the museum's enormous rooftop observation deck for free, enjoy a meal at the bistro bar or restaurant, or sip a coffee at the local café. The facility also includes an auditorium, workshop and theater/cinema rooms, a library, and a museum shop. In the first half of 2025, visitors could also see an interesting exhibition related to the millennium of Bolesław the Brave's coronation—"1025. Birth of the Kingdom," which tells the story of medieval Poland, its rulers, inhabitants, customs, resources, and, for example, stolen or lost treasures. Ticket prices are nominal, and you can also use a free multilingual audio guide (which I highly recommend). This museum has enormous potential, so it's definitely worth returning next year, when the impressive permanent exhibition with over 3,600 exhibits is scheduled to open. I highly recommend the MHP, all the exhibitions and events held here, and the entire Warsaw Citadel area.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePaweł P15 August 2025We visited during the Polish Army Day celebrations, when numerous special events were taking place. Although we didn't visit the exhibitions, the museum building makes a very good impression, aesthetically blending in with its surroundings and offering a beautiful view from the roof.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMagdalena R15 August 2025Posted on GoogleKus K7 August 2025We only went to the observation deck, which offers beautiful views. Access to and from the building's rooftop via elevator is free.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleSafa Y25 July 2025I was very impressed. My 7-year-old son and I were fascinated. The exhibition was interesting, well-organized, and easy to read. We also learned a few interesting facts from the staff. We recommend it. We also encourage you to visit the tanks.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePatryk23 July 2025the temporary exhibition is ok but the architecture and style are impressive, 5 stars
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleArtur O23 July 2025Someday there will be a beautiful museum here. I can't wait for it to open!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAdam S20 July 2025Permanent exhibitions will not appear until 2026, but you can already go to the terrace on the 4th floor and eat something in the bistro.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleSylwia D17 July 2025A beautiful, large museum with many interesting stories and memorabilia. I highly recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna Z10 July 2025A fantastic place, and the family picnic celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland and Sabre Day was very interesting and well-organized. My grandson was delighted.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgnieszka K8 July 2025Posted on GoogleM Z7 July 2025Posted on GoogleUriel M6 July 2025Beautiful building but unfortunately as of July 2025 the museum had no exhibition and there was nothing to visit. You can still enter the building, go to the rooftop terrace, use restrooms, visit the canteen, souvenir shop or library. I hope it will soon host something.Posted on GoogleArunas B29 June 2025Huge museum with some nice expositions. The building is quite new, so some other sections are under prep and unopened yet. The whole Citadel is an enormous complex of different museums btw, including a nice park and playground.Posted on GoogleAndrzej D26 June 2025So far, there's nothing special. It's hard to fill such a building with one temporary exhibition. Although I have to admit that the current exhibition is very interesting. On the downside: poor entrance markings and a closed parking lot (there is a note about it on the Museum's website, but it's written in very small print, making it very difficult to see).
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJerzy I23 June 2025Another cool museum in Warsaw, now only temporary exhibitions, when they finish it will be great. I recommend.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRafał P20 June 2025An amazing place. The museum building itself is impressive. The viewing terrace, if you also get beautiful weather, you can leave the stress of the whole week there just sitting. The view of the Warsaw panorama is amazing. You can take beautiful photos. The museum only has a temporary exhibition, but I liked it too. And on the Citadel there are a few more points worth seeing, especially the X pavilion, the Katyn Museum, the park.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRadek M14 June 2025Posted on GoogleAneta C12 June 2025The huge space is impressive. The exhibition is interesting, but tiny compared to the space of the museum building, where you get the impression that nothing is happening. I recommend the viewing terrace at the very top, where you can admire the panorama of the city.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarek Z10 June 2025Beautiful building, wonderful temporary exhibition on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the Kingdom of Poland.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleWeronika P10 June 2025The museum building is impressive. The viewing terrace is ok. However, the temporary exhibition from the beginnings of the Kingdom of Poland is so-so for people who are not very interested in it. I recommend using the audiobook, which is available in the museum.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZbigniew8 June 2025A place worth visiting, the exhibits are in good condition and the viewing terrace completes the positive impression 🙂
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJacek P6 June 2025I recommend it but I'm waiting for the permanent exhibition to be completed.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDorota23 May 2025Great museum, the main permanent exhibition is not opened yet, but you can already go to see the temporary one (Fridays for free), take a 360 view from the rooftop or eat something at the museum’s bistro. The architecture is great and a lot of interactive displays and a free audio guide that leads you through the exhibition. Will come back again.Posted on GoogleKatarzyna23 May 2025Very cool museum! Temporary exhibitions for now, for 1.5 hours, but I'm waiting for the permanent exhibition. Great structure, nice terrace with a view, free audio guide. I regret that there were no places like this when I was at school and learned history. Maybe then I would remember more :) The museum is interactive, modern and despite the subject matter, it is not boring. I recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRobert K20 May 2025The observation deck is a fairy tale, the rest is relative. The exhibition descriptions are barely VISIBLE!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnastasiia Z18 May 2025The exhibition “The Birth of a Kingdom” is great, be sure to take the audio guide (included in the ticket price). Ticket PLN 20. I am waiting for the permanent exhibition to open in 2026!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleOksana S15 May 2025It's a new project of history museum, it seems to be open in 2 years. However, it's possible to visit a small exposition of early years of human beings here, what is now Poland. The building is modern, and the architecture is impressive. There is also a terrace with an amazing view of the city.Posted on GoogleKatarzyna G13 May 2025The building is architecturally interesting, the terrace encourages relaxation. The exhibitions are still being shaped
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAndreas G11 May 2025I was there on business. It's really amazing, and once it's fully completed and opened, it'll definitely be a big deal.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIga M9 May 2025The building itself is impressive in terms of size... the exhibition itself is less spectacular
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarek G9 May 2025For now, only occasional exhibitions, but it's still interesting. Exhibition combined with fun. Something for adults and children.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePawlasty K6 May 2025Attendance is mandatory for every self-respecting Pole. For children to learn national values
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJulia J5 May 2025The potential is huge. Probably in a few months it will be possible to fully evaluate and appreciate this place.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleGrzegorz C4 May 2025The building is impressive, but the temporary exhibition itself is less so.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleSyed M3 May 2025View from the terrace is very beautiful ❤️Posted on GooglePaweł W2 May 2025A magnificent pearl of modern Warsaw architecture. The interior is impressive, one feels small here. The museum exhibitions are interesting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJaroslaw M2 May 2025It is worth coming here for many reasons. The only museum of its kind in Poland. It is worth taking the elevator to the 4th floor to the viewing terrace. Completely different and amazing views of Warsaw.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleLeszek J28 April 2025Posted on GoogleOlga K26 April 2025The exhibition on the occasion of the millennium of the coronation of Bolesław the Brave is very nice, I recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarcin B17 April 2025After viewing the exhibition, it is also worth visiting the observation deck.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAdam A13 April 2025Beautiful, huge building. Great view of Warsaw. We were at the temporary exhibition 1000 years of the kingdom and it is good, modern and quite interesting. We recommend with an audio guide. I think it will be a great cultural center in the city. We are waiting for the permanent exhibition! (The museum also publishes podcasts, you can easily find them)
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKonrad S6 April 2025Posted on GoogleMatylda C6 April 2025The Polish History Museum in the Warsaw Citadel made a big impression on me. The modern interior design combines perfectly with the monumental character of the Citadel itself, which creates a unique atmosphere. The exhibitions are very well thought out - rich in content, but at the same time accessible. I especially liked the interactive elements and reconstructions of historical events. This place gives a chance to deeply understand Polish history.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRóżowe O5 April 2025An architecturally interesting building with a beautiful panorama of Warsaw, stretching from the viewing terrace. A delightful library. An interesting walking area with places to rest and a playground. But the museum itself... we had the impression of emptiness and a lack of exhibits, the electronic guide did most of the work.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleOskar P27 March 2025I am very impressed! It presents itself well and I can't wait for the permanent exhibition. I recommend it for students from 4th grade upwards :) the viewing terrace on p. 4 is a must-see
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePiotr Z24 March 2025Posted on GooglePiotr L23 March 2025A huge, majestic building. There is a lot of space for exhibitions, which is a huge plus. Additionally, there is a viewing terrace on the roof with a beautiful panorama, especially of the right-bank Warsaw.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleOla H23 March 2025The magnificent monumental building of the museum makes a huge impression. The exhibition is, let's say, symbolic for now, but it's still worth taking a look. The entrance is inexpensive :) It's great that there's a park and tanks around it, which you can see for free. A great idea for a Sunday walk :)
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMariusz.22 March 2025Museum is an exaggeration. Although it has been open for two years, it still does not have a permanent exhibition. Currently, there is only a temporary exhibition on the 1000th anniversary of the Kingdom of Poland. The exhibition is quite interesting, with many exhibits. Individual tours, or with a guide, or with an audio guide. Depending on your interest and the option chosen, the tour lasts from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. The viewing terrace, which can be reached by elevator, is worth attention, and is located on the roof of the museum. From there, there is a nice view of Warsaw.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMagdalena R22 March 2025Posted on GooglePaweł19 March 2025Monumental, impressive building. Great architectural work. A worthy place for a Polish history museum. Temporary exhibitions 4/5. We are eagerly awaiting the permanent exhibition!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMaciej P16 March 2025The unusual shape of the new museum makes an impression. The marble decorative slabs are amazing and supposedly came from Portugal. A very nice viewing terrace on the roof. An interesting exhibition about the lives of people from the beginning of the creation of Poland.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMike9 March 2025Super cool and modern museum. Also it is very huge. However beware that currently only temporary exhibiton is available and permanent one will be available starting from the next year. It is located in a historical place, Warsaw citadel, and there are a couple of museums around. There is also Warsaw panoramic view on the roof which is cool.Posted on GooglePiotr W4 March 2025Interesting temporary exhibition, the museum is not fully open yet. The building is impressive.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMateusz S18 February 2025One of the most beautiful buildings in Warsaw, I do not even invite you to a discussion. At the moment, only the ground floor is open with a temporary exhibition about the history of Poland. Unfortunately, it is modest and strangely arranged. As if it tried to be for adults and children at the same time, but neither one nor the other turned out well. Few exhibits. It is only a temporary exhibition, I hope that after the opening of the full museum the assessment will be much better.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDorota B15 February 2025Strange parking situation. You can't enter the area. I came by taxi. I had to get out at the barrier and walk, and the taxi driver had to turn around on the street before the barrier. The museum itself is impressive... as far as the building is concerned. All the walls inside and outside are covered with stone. An incredible view. The exhibition itself... I expected something different, more interesting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJerzy K15 February 2025I saw the exhibition dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of the Polish Kingdom THE BIRTH OF THE KINGDOM
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMusic A14 February 2025The building is very beautiful. The permanent exhibition is not scheduled to open until 2026. Until then, temporary exhibitions can be visited on the ground floor.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAndrzej K13 February 2025Beautiful building, interesting temporary exhibition. Unfortunately, the entire museum will not be opened until the future (:
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna K12 February 2025I don't understand these unused spaces, these marbles up to the ceiling, the emptiness, but the current exhibition was well prepared. A bit sparse, but interesting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgata S8 February 2025At the moment only a temporary exhibition is available, permanent exhibition under construction (probable opening: November 2026) Visit on Friday - free admission. An interestingly told fragment of the history of the beginnings of the Polish state.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleВладислав4 February 2025A gorgeous museum, it's a pity that it's still under construction. The well-kept grounds are worth seeing.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMati F3 February 2025The building is impressive, even though it may resemble a large LEGO brick. When in Warsaw, you must definitely drop by
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZofia K3 February 2025Four stars for the fact that at the moment we can only rate the building, because the permanent exhibitions are still being prepared. We were a family at the temporary exhibition 1025 Birth of the Kingdom of Poland. I think it is a well-prepared exhibition, BUT without a soundtrack in the audio guide for children. My kids really love audio guides and have eaten from more than one stove in this regard ;) but here without preparing the content for the youngest recipient - they got really bored. It's a pity, because they like museums and we often look somewhere. So it's definitely something to think about for the future. The building is grand, monumental, I am very curious about its development when the most important thing, i.e. the exhibitions, are ready.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePaweł B31 January 2025Posted on GoogleArkadiusz W26 January 2025The museum is still in its infancy but has potential, it is located in a charming place with a beautiful view of the center of Warsaw.

museum description
Polish History Museum
Museum of the History of Poland in Warsaw (MHP) has been established on May 2, 2006 to present key events in Polish history, placing particular emphasis on Polish freedom traditions. After years of searching for a permanent location, the museum opened its doors at the Warsaw Citadel on September 28, 2023. The building with an area of over 44,000 m² consists of four above-ground and two underground floors, offering an exhibition space of 7,300 m².
The museum is equipped with modern educational rooms, an auditorium, conference rooms, a library, catering outlets and conservation workshops. The architecture of the building, designed by the Warsaw studio WXCA, combines symbolic elements of Polish architecture, visible on the façade in the form of reliefs from the Gniezno Doors to 20th-century modernism.
The museum collections include nearly 60,000 objects, including works of art, military items, historical documents, photographs and archaeological finds that illustrate various eras in the history of Poland. The Polish History Museum at the Warsaw Citadel is becoming not only an educational and cultural center, but also an important place for discussion and reflection on national history.
