#MUSEUM
3D pics and a strange machine
The Warsaw Photoplasticon – a huge machine designed in the 19th century that shows 3D pictures – is definitely a must-see ! After all, only a few of those fascinating devices have survived until the 21st century and the one we have in Warsaw has been operating in the same place for over a 100 years!!! Till the end of August the photoplasticon is showing pictures taken during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 by reporters, who were risking their life to create evidence of the fighting city.

#SIGHTSEEING
Warsaw from above
The fact that the snow clouds are gone for good (we hope!), creates a great opportunity to see Warsaw from a different perspective – from the panoramic terrace on 30th floor of the Palace of Culture and Science! Also, you’ll have a chance to see the hated by some and loved by others skyscraper, a generous gift from the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin. Have a coffee, sit down and enjoy the view!
