I was very impressed with this small museum and especially its informative little screens that provide a lot of information in multiple languages, much of it very detailed and not easy to find outside the museum. I really appreciated the one where you can see different victims and their personal stories. The pictures and explanations of graffiti written by the prisoners on the cell walls were very interesting. The museum is small, but not very expensive and does a good job of making the most of its space. The lights available to help you read the signs in this dark basement were also very much appreciated. It is kind of hard to find with no signs until you reach the museum door itself, so look for the large, grand entrance pictured here on TripAdvisor and then turn left just inside those gates.

We are glad to invite you to our private communist museum. This is the first idea in Warsaw to show how people used to live during communist times. You can see typical furniture, everyday use things as famous washing mashine "Frania", tv-set "Rubin" or unique "Saturator". There are few different sections, where you can experience propaganda, lifestyle, politics or ordinary day from the times. The exposition is a perfect background to the history of Communism in Poland. The main idea is to experience the times and find out the absurds of everyday life.

Literally the best museum in Warsaw. It’s not so big but gives you an elaborated frame about communism period. If you grew up in a poor country you can find lots of things from your childhood. Take your time, look at photo album and discover everything carefully in there.

The National Museum in Warsaw houses a world class collection of art and artifacts stretching from antiquity all the way up to the modern day. Visitors will find ancient relics from the Nubian region, which hold a unique permanent home of display unseen anywhere else in Europe, the most important and groundbreaking works from Polish artists of the 19th Century, and a groundbreaking and historically crucial display of artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as a comprehensive and beautiful collection of iconic Polish design, from furniture and posters, to fashion and industry. The National Museum in Warsaw is a must-see on any trip to the city.

Worth seeing mostly for its wonderful collection of Polish 19th century art. Other sections include medieval sacral art (with some impressive wooden altars from Polish churches), Renaissance art / Old Masters (a rather humble selection of European paintings and an interesting collection of pottery), Polish school of design (a small, but fascinating exhibition on Polish 20th century design) and 20th century art (sadly, it was closed when I visited). Newly reopened section on the ancient times had a huge line and was rather disappointing (a very basic selection of Egyptian, Greek and Roman art - plus mummies, of course). Nevertheless, the museum is certainly worth the entrance fee. If you want to see everything, be prepared to spend around 4 hours here.
