Traveler reviews
Jason Switzer
★★★★★3 months agoThis is one of the better museums I have been to. My only criticisms are that the English and Polish versions were not always balanced. There were some parts that had more explaination in Polish and some more explaination in English. Also, the walking path arrows got a little confusing in the middle. That said, a little critical thinking was able to keep everything on track. This museum has so much information and is put together so well that after 4 hours I had to leave (they closed on me) without seeing the whole thing. This is destination museum. Plan to spend several hours, and learn some amazing stuff. I am sure that the next time I go it will be 5 stars.
