WE ARE OPEN! 21st of May we reopen our Museum! We work as before, maintaining the safety rules. Our guest are requested to disinfect their hands at the entrance and to wear masks. Pinball Station is the first Interactive Pinball Museum in Warsaw. Established in June 2016, thanks to the great passion and commitment of two hobbyists and collectors. We started with 30 flippers. Today, our collection has over 100 pinball and arcade games, of which 70 have been restored and are available to visitors at Pinball Station. If you want to come back to the 80s and 90s, play on machines nowhere inaccessible like Bord-Golf from 1933 or simply – you want to feel like a kid again, come to our Museum.

On a grey, wet afternoon in Warsaw when most of the listed museums are closed there are few better options than this place. My wife and I, enjoyed a couple of hours here having a drink and reminiscing about our teenage years, stimulated by arcade games from the 70s-90s . It cost £8 each for “unlimited play” and the drinks were a fair price. It’s a fun place

This place is chilling! I am not going to lie, I struggled to contain my tears while there and am even struggling writing this review, however I do not think this should put people off visiting. Yes, it is difficult get to but imagine what it was like for those sent out here to die! The little museum at the start does nothing prepare you for this experience, although it is interesting. The first section you approach is Treblinka II, now a seemingly never ending stone memorial to those who passed away. For me it truly brought home the scale of the killing! Then after 2km down the "Black Road" you arrive at Treblinka I, unlike Auschwitz there is nothing left! Another chilling reminder of just how thoroughly traces of mass genocide can be hidden. Then further on again you come to the Gravel Pit where prisoners would be forced to work, while slightly further again is the Execution Site and another silent memorial to the worst mankind is capable of!! This place was empty and silent during our visit, not even the birds sang. This place is haunting but so important if we are to ever learn to avoid these horrific happening again.

This scenic palace, built between 1768-1773 for Kazimierz Raczynski, features late Baroque architecture with those of early classicism.

The palace in Rogalin was built in the years 1770-1776 for Kazimierz Raczyński, a royal writer, and then the staroste general of Greater Poland and the royal court marshal. The interiors of this late-baroque-classicist residence host a museum, focused on the history of the Raczyński aristocratic family. Behind the palace extends a French garden closing with a mound, from which formerly stretched the view in the direction of the Warta River. Surrounded by picturesque gardens and park land, the Palace of Rogalin is one of the most significant examples of Baroque architecture in Poland. In this 18th-century palace located 30 km south of Poznan you can also see the "London Cabinet" , which is full of tokens of remembrance : old furniture, family photos, London address book with the hand-written telephone number of Winston Churchill and many others taken from London, 8 Lennox Gardens, where Edward Bernard Raczynski, President of the Republic of Poland in Exile spent 26 years of his life. The exhibition also includes a coach house and Painting Gallery. The painting gallery located in the building from 1910 contains collections collected for forty years by Edward Raczyński . The gallery has in its collections the works of such artists as: Olga Boznanska, Julian Falat, Aleksander Gierymski, Jacek Malczewski , Jan Matejko , Leon Wyczolkowski, Stanisław Wyspianski, Albert Besnard, Maurice Chabas, and Paul Delaroche. After exploring the glorious gallery you can walk through the Palace’s landscaped park . It is one of Europe’s largest oak groups. Many of the trees are several hundred years old. The most famous three, however, of amazing circumferences, are those named after the legendary Slavic brothers. Those are Lech , Czech and Rus . The tour in the Palace interiors can be accompanied by a rented audio guide . The number of tickets for the day is limited. A beautiful place, a friendly staff. A very pleasant place for a family walk. Nearby there are quite a few parking spaces, both paid and free. Definitely worth visiting.

Most of the visitors to the city of Lodz are more-or-less aware that it is a very good example of the big industrial city that "burst-out" of the small village-like city in the second half of the XIX c. But only few of them have a knowledge, that this is probably one of the last places on the Earth where you can see "classic industrial town" with the factory (unfortunately now in ruins), proprietor's palace and workers dwellings. This is what Ksiezy Mlyn is. For some visitors it may be interesting, that in the second half of the XXth c. factory was still active, and that was the only working factory where pope John Paul II visited the mostly women crew.

The best Jewish Cemetry I have seen. This cemetry is cared for and well maintained, AS wonderful exhibit of a funeral parlour at the entrance. Wonderful to see a Jewish cemetry not totally destroyed in Poland. Gret to combine this with a trip to nearby Radegast.
