Very detailed museum. Also, it is huge. I mean HUGE. There is a corridor in the middle for resting, but due to the Corona virus, the other resting options were not meant to be used at the time of our visit. Thus, it was a really tiresome visit for our legs. Easily spend several hours there. I don't know if they allow to have lunch in the resting corridor that is inside the main exhibition, but otherwise the only lunch option they offer is a small cafe outside the main exhibition, which means you have to either pack your own food, suffer some hunger or simply plan your visit not around lunch time.
The exhibitions were very informative even to English speakers. I really liked that they showed the II WW from other perspectives as well, not only Poland. All in all, I really recommend you to visit this museum.
Informative and modern museum, luckily with arrows to guide you, orientation would otherwise be difficult. I recommend to take at least 3-4 hours of time for this museum.
The ending and shop were a little weird though, with 'war toys', tank merchandise, etc. A WW2 memorial is definitely not the right place to sell such items. Lack of actually wanted or informative souvenirs (including postcards).
Viewing starts with a soft introduction to the state of Europe and broader world, then you get to know the main actors behind the war, and well, after that it only gets just more and more interesting. Definitely reserve at least 3 hours to view everything. There is a moment that should touch your heart to the deepest but I won't spoil it here.
Beautiful and modern museum with lots of audiovisual information, which gives a insight also from the Polish point of view.
I'd have liked more historical facts and information, but that's because I already visited many museums of this kind.
Highly recommended to get an overview of what happened in that sad period
Lots of interesting information in non-standard and easy to understand format. Really well thought exhibitions. The installations/layouts of Polish streets are just amazing!
Be prepared to spend there around 4-5 hours of your time, eat in advance :)
Better buy the tickets on the official website beforehand, because the queue is quite long.
