Muzeum Powstań Śląskich w Świętochłowicach

The Muzeum Powstań Śląskich is a history museum housed in a renovated former estate management building spread across three floors. The displays present chronological exhibits and original documents that document the armed conflicts of the region between 1919 and 1921.

The museum was established in 2012 when the municipal museum underwent a major transformation to focus on the uprisings. This change reflected a growing commitment to preserve these pivotal moments in regional history.

The name refers directly to the three armed uprisings that shaped regional identity in the early 20th century. Visitors can experience how these events remain central to how people in Silesia understand themselves today.

The museum is located in Świętochłowice and is reasonably accessible to visitors. Sundays offer free entry, though it closes on Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly.

The building itself, a former Donnersmarck estate management structure, carries its own layered history linked to the region. The choice to convert this specific building into a museum adds an extra layer of authenticity to the stories being told.
