5. National Museum in Szczecin - The Dialogue Centre Upheavals

Reviewed By CaseyBe - London, United Kingdom
This museum is a branch of the National Museum in Szczecin and is found underground in the centre of Szczecin near the Filharmonia building. Apparently the museum won World Building of the Year 2016 prize at World Architecture Festival 2016. The museum starts with the second world war in Szczecin and tells the story of the subsequent events - like the massive movement of populations after the war, the changes to the borders and the various upheavals and rebellions and developments (such as industrial development) since then. Most of the story is told through boards, videos, films or interactive screens, with some artefacts illustrating the decades. There are also a number of artistic creations, such as a cell and a very striking collage when you enter the exhibition gallery. The galleries are underground and have dim lighting - the better to see the movies and read the screens. There is a lot of English (and German) captioning - including English subtitles to some of the films and videos. If you are interested in post WWII history it is a must. The cafe is OK as well!

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 58 reviews
The seat of Szczecin's History Museum is a Gothic old town hall in the castle surroundings, located in the centre of the oldest part of the city – between the Hay Market and the New Market. During World War II the town hall shared the fate of the old town and was devastated again. Within the postwar reconstruction of the old town, as one of few historic buildings it was earmarked for rebuilding. Impressive interiors of the town hall house exhibitions of history and culture of Szczecin of times ranging from the oldest ages – illustrated by archaeological relics – through the times of duchy; through Swedish, Prussian and German periods, to the postwar times with, close to us, final years of the 20th century.
