#MUSEUMS
Warsaw Rising Museum
The 1944 Warsaw Uprising was one of the biggest acts of resistance against the Nazis in Europe during WWII and led to almost complete annihilation of the city. This interactive Museum tells the story of tragic events of August and Spetember of 1944 in an innovative way, taking you on an enthralling journey through the history of Warsovians’ struggle for independence. It’s also one of the very few museums in Warsaw open on Mondays. What’s more, on this particular day, it’s free of charge.
