Muzeum PRL-u

This museum displays objects from daily life between 1945 and 1989, including household items, clothing, and publications that document existence under communist rule. The collection shows the material conditions and personal belongings that people actually used during this period.

The museum was established in 2010 to document the period from 1945 to 1989 when Poland was under communist control. It relies on authentic objects and personal accounts to show how Polish society transformed during these decades.

The exhibitions show how Polish families furnished their homes and arranged their living spaces under communist rule through reconstructed apartments and public areas. You see clothing, furniture, and everyday objects that reveal the practical choices people made within their daily routines.

Plan enough time to explore the different rooms and reconstructed spaces at a comfortable pace without rushing. It helps to check in advance whether guided tours or special programs are being offered on the day you wish to visit.

Visitors can experience audio guides delivered through vintage walkmans, a technology choice that mirrors how people consumed information during that era. This detail connects how people actually listened to content in communist Poland with your visit today.
