Tons of info about Jews history. You can hire for 10 PLN an audioguide (alike to this in the photo). It doesn't have headphones port , so you have to keep it constantly by your ear like a mobile phone.

Veronica Gornostayeva

Fantastic place!!! I spent only 2 hours in the first 2 galleries ... At least 4 hours minimum for the hole core exhibition . Great design and concept. I will come here back absolutely!

Izabela Radomska

Amazing form of exposition makes you really want to see everything in detail. 1000 years of history of Polish Jews in 5h visit. Audio guide recommended. Great architecture .

Jiří Hlaváč

The absolutely fantastic work of the creators of the exhibition of this museum of Jewish history. This museum must be visited by anyone coming to Warsaw.

Kevin Dulin

The reconstruction of the interior of the Gwozdziec Synagogue is amazing. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time, a huge museum !

Claire Cohen

On point and amazingly executed. You must have time - it took us about 2 hrs to go through it all. Top priority on your list when in Warsaw.

Taylor Kiker

Jewish history museum . You could spend a whole week here as it is so extensive. I would recommend walking through to the WWII history part and then circling back to the start if you have energy left.

Stunning architecture ! The museum is very modern and spacious . The exhibition is wonderfully done and is very informative and interactive. One of the must see places in Warsaw!

One of the most impressive museums . The idea, exhibitions themself, music and side effects are fantastic. Be ready to spend here at least two hours. Not for small kids.

Nicolas Evens

One of the best museum I ever visited. First the building entrance and its organic shapes is impressive. Then the exhibition is really immersive, extremely well done.

Very interesting permanent exhibition ! Another great Museum on Warsaw map. Book at least 2 hours to see everything properly - also because it's very popular and therefore crowded these days.

Shir Ha Shirim

Very interesting place, worth to visit and to understand what’s lost because of WW II and the Holocaust

I spent 4 hours here and barely realized how long I had been wandering around. Definitely get the audio guide . Otherwise it would be confusing to follow the exhibit .

Edyta Winnicka

Very unique. Covers couple of centuries of history of Poland and Jews. Very interactive. Beautiful architecture .

Come here with at least 3 hours of time, it’s worth to go through all the Jewish history in Eastern Europe.

Here you will learn how Jewish people come to settle in Poland and what happens through the centries is history! A sad one!

Great one! U need at least three hours probably. Don't spend too much time in the beginning as you might get tired by the end, which is arguably the most interesting part
