The inauguration of the new building of the Polish History Museum took place on 28 September. The ceremony was attended by the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda and the First Lady, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński, Minister of Culture and National Heritage Piotr Gliński, and the Director of the PHM Robert Kostro, as well as invited guests and media representatives.

The Polish History Museum was established on 2 May 2006 and although it created exhibitions, performed educational activities and popularised history, for years it had no permanent home. It was not until late 2015 and early 2016 that things changed as the government approved the museum’s location of at the Warsaw Citadel and secured adequate funding for the project. In this way, the largest investment in culture in the history of the Third Polish Republic began to progress at a fast pace.

On 29 September at 1pm, the Polish History Museum opens to all visitors. So long awaited, this moment was made possible, among other things, thanks to the great commitment of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage Prof. Piotr Gliński.

In addition to the impressive museum building itself, the invited guests had the opportunity to visit the temporary exhibition Big and Small Stories. How the Polish History Museum’s Collection Was Built. It presents several hundred of the nearly sixty thousand objects in the museum’s collections, providing a panorama of more than 1,000 years of state and national history, as well as telling the story of the acquisition of valuable museum objects.

Opening Festival
at the Polish History Museum

The building of the Polish History Museum is a masterpiece in itself. Its marble façade refers to the successive layers of Polish history: from the earliest times to the present. Inside, in addition to exhibition spaces, there are an auditorium hall with nearly 580 seats, a cinema and theatre hall, workshop and conference rooms, as well as modern storage facilities and conservation studios. The impressive crowning glory of the building is its rooftop terrace, which offers an exceptional panorama of the Polish capital.

From 29 September to 1 October, we invite you to the Warsaw Citadel for the Opening Festival. Detailed information available at www.muzhp.pl/en.
