Warsaw Uprising Museum

From a young age, I've been dragged around many a war museum due to my Dad's fascination with anything WW2. However, I found the Warsaw Uprising Museum a refreshing change. Opened in 2004, it is considered the most modern museum in Poland.

It is home to hundreds of artifacts relating to the struggle of the Polish people during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, ranging from love letters to weapons and planes. The museum is full of tactile design, inviting the visitor to become involved, complimenting the written and spoken accounts of life in 1944.

There was also student art in the gardens surrounding the museum.

Historical museum design is never something I have really ever considered, but I was inspired by how the design of the exhibitions, and the building itself, really made the museum touching as well as interesting.
