Norwegian POW Museum, Military museum in Ostrzeszów, Poland.

The Norwegian POW Museum contains artifacts, documents, and photographs illustrating experiences of Norwegian soldiers held captive during World War II.

The museum occupies a building that served as Oflag XXI-C camp in 1943, where German forces detained approximately 1,150 Norwegian military officers.

The museum exhibits maintain records of military traditions, personal stories, and wartime experiences through photographs taken by prisoners using contraband materials.

Located at coordinates 51.4259N, 17.9332E, the museum provides guided tours in multiple languages and includes educational programs for students.

A tin plate engraved with 'Kaptein Vagn Enger' discovered in a local technical school cellar initiated the collection of Norwegian POW artifacts.
