Museum Of The Second World War
About
The Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk is a state‑run institution that opened its doors in March 2017, following years of planning and architectural development. Located on Władysław Bartoszewski Square, the strikingly modern building—shaped like three interlocking spheres—houses an extensive collection of military equipment, documents, and personal items that chronicle the impact of the war on Poland and Europe as a whole. Visitors walk through interactive exhibitions, including the 40‑metre lean tower that holds a library, café, and conference rooms with panoramic views of the city, and explore art, weapons, and personal artefacts that bring history to life. The museum actively promotes dialogue and education through temporary exhibitions, educational programs for children and adults, and a rich collection of films and media. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., it offers a deep and immersive experience for history enthusiasts, families, and anyone interested in the human dimensions of World War II.
