#MUSEUM
 

Learn the history behind the ‘63 days of glory’
 

The 1944 Uprising in Warsaw (that broke out on 1st August and lasted for over two months before it was ruthlessly surpressed) was one of the biggest battles of resistance against the Nazi in Europe during WWII and brought almost complete destruction of the city. The Museum tells the story of tragic events of August and September 1944 in a multimedia-based way. It’s an enthralling journey through the history of the struggle of the people of Warsaw for independence. Free of charge on Sundays!

#SHOPPING #FAIR
 

Polish Designers’ Vanity Fair
 

Whenever we’re asked about a flea market or ‘this place where you can buy local designer stuff’ we struggle with the answer. There are places of that kind here and there but they’re usually quite distant from one another which means if you don’t find something you like in one of them, you have to travel to another which makes the whole process a bit of a nuisance. That’s why we’re really happy to inform that this weekend, just outside the Old Town, you get a chance to buy loads of products from local Polish designers. From clothes to accessories to shoes to glass and ceramics. You name it!
