Centralne Muzeum Jeńców Wojennych, Military history museum in Opole, Poland.
The Central Museum of Prisoners-of-War maintains two locations, with the main building in Opole and an additional site in the Niemodlińskie Forests of Łambinowice.
Founded in 1964, the museum documents experiences of prisoners through conflicts, presenting extensive collections of artifacts, documents, and personal testimonies from former captives.
The institution received the Golden Medal for Merit to Culture for its work in preserving wartime memories and educating future generations about prisoner experiences.
Visitors can access both museum locations via guided tours, with bicycle rentals available for exploring the historical paths in the Łambinowice forest area.
The museum maintains an archive of personal items, including recovered Italian soldier tags, contributing to international efforts in documenting wartime prisoner experiences.
