I did not do the audio-guided tour so can't comment on if that improves the experience. I really like WWII history, but this was just OK from the perspective of an American tourist. The museum itself is a bit convoluted and the english translations for the displays are minimal. I was able to get the flavor of the Uprising and... More

A great way to show generations of the future what actually transpired. It was a bit out of the touristic old town, but well worth the taxi ride that cost us about €10 or so. The entrance fee was quite cheap and the place was filled with young school going kids, teenagers, tourists and locals alike. Glad we did it.

The story of the brave Polish people and their endurance during this time is beautifully and skillfully told. A touching and important experience. Especially important story to be told.

This museum warrants a visit while in Warsaw. It has monumental artificats from the Warsaw uprising, and ghetto. Rooms are set up to visit which show how the people lived in these horrific times. There are original tunnels, clothing and biographies of the heroes (some just young children) that were instrumental in fighting in the underground. There are videos throughout... More

I arrived all ready for the experience but I had not brought ID so I could not get to use the headphones. Although disappointed, I was pleased to see that they had English translations of all the exhibits. Plan to spend at least three hours if you are at all interested in history... and a wonderful true story of what... More

My memories from this place was that it was dark, very big and pretty boring in the end. You simply get a bit sleepy by the dark lighting and all the reading. Still, the information tells you a lot you probably haven't heard before. On such a big area there is also place for everything from an open auditorium, a... More
