We are celebrating the first anniversary of the Polish History Museum’s activity at the Warsaw Citadel!
On 28 September 2023, we made our building available to the public, kicking off a four-day-long PHM Opening Festival and were visited by more 25 thousand guests. This year, the unique first anniversary has inspired us to prepare a wealth of attractions for you: a history-inspired picnic in the Polish History Museum’s Park, architecture walks and a premiere of the History Patterns app. Admission is free.

History-inspired picnic
This time around, we are going back in time to tsarist and insurgent camps of 1863–64 for your first-hand experience of the history of the January Uprising, the longest pro-independence revolt in post-Partitions Poland. The programme includes outdoor games, living history lessons performed by historical enactment groups, educational workshops, a concert of insurgent camp songs, big format gaming, and a show of insurgent fashion and jewellery.

HISTORY PATTERNS: Begin your visit following the traces of history imprinted in stone!
History Patterns is a mobile application of the Polish History Museum created as an educational tool to help find and understand the ornaments hidden on the marble façade of our building. At the Museum, we talk about the history of the state and the nation, but the building itself also refers to the successive stages of our history - from the earliest times to the present. As well as having fun, we want to provide our visitors with a solid dose of knowledge about the history of art and architecture.

A year of Museum activities
at the Warsaw Citadel
Shortly before midnight on 28 September 2023, the first visitors saw the exhibition Big and Small Stories. How the Polish History Museum's Collection Was Built. More than 500 exhibits told 1,000 years of the history of our state and nation, while showcasing the wealth of our collections. The inaugural temporary exhibition remained open until March 2024 and was seen by more than 60,000 visitors.
From June to September 2024, the visitors could enjoy another temporary exhibition The Power of the Story. From a Medieval Chronicle to a Modern Museum. It garnered excellent ratings and stimulated reflection not only on history, but also on its contemporary use.

Thank you for this past year together!
We have been there for you all year! Educational workshops, museum lessons, conferences, concerts, picnics, lectures or film screenings - all to tell Poland’s history in a colourful and wise way.
