One of our favourite museums, The Historical Museum of Warsaw has been offline for several issues now but is easing into a return after months of renovations. What can you see so far? An excellent permanent exhibition about the history of Warsaw through the 17th century and plenty of archaeological materials to keep Indiana Jones enthused for hours. Two temporary exhibitions are also open and are dedicated to two great Poles: writer Boleslaw Prus and WWII hero Janusz Korczak. One aspect not to be missed is the film "Warsaw Will Remember" in the museum's cinema. The film addresses the war years from 1939-1945 and the rebuilding of the city. The film is shown Tue-Fri at 10:00 and 12:00, Sat and Sun at 12:00 and 14:00, and lasts 20 minutes (in French, Italian German and Spanish by request). Tickets are 10/5zł, and the entrance for the film is from Rynek Starego Miasta 40.
Admission 10/5zł.

I had the privilege of visiting the museum on Sunday, September 20, 2009. I felt that the review of the city's history was balanced and well-done. Attention was not focused on only one group of the population. It is a large exhibit and one can not do justice to the displays on only one visit. I would like to return and see it again. I do wish that more of the explanations included English text. Many international visitors, like me, do not know Polish.
