An astonishing museum that doesn’t translate into English very well, find inside a series of dusty rooms several touching exhibits dedicated to those who fought and died for their nation and who were born in the Nowa Huta area. In Polish only, most things on display might not mean much to those lacking a healthy interest in the detritus and paraphernalia of war, but it’s well worth popping in if only for a look at the intriguing and grotesque models of life under the Nazis during WWII.

A little gem tucked away in a building over an Old Persons Support Centre, although landmarked by the large green IS-2 tank parked on a plinth outside. A lovely English-speaking lady at the Centre took me on a personal tour, translating the words of the two young history students who seemed to know everything about the exhibits of the perpetual Polish struggle. A friendly and delightful diversion if you have made the journey out to Nowa Huta. No entrance fee but a donation for the upkeep of the museum is welcomed.
