Muzeum Żołnierzy Wyklętych i Więźniów Politycznych PRL, Museum dedicated to political prisoners in Warsaw, Poland
The Museum of Cursed Soldiers and Political Prisoners occupies the former Mokotów prison buildings on Rakowiecka Street in Warsaw, displaying artifacts and testimonies.
From 1945 to 1989, this prison facility served as the main political penitentiary where approximately 350 resistance fighters were executed by communist authorities.
The museum exhibits include personal belongings, such as bread rosaries and letters from families, demonstrating the resilience of political prisoners under communist rule.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Friday with guided tours available, while weekend visits require no pre-booking for scheduled tour times.
The museum preserves original solitary confinement cells where during the Stalinist period up to eight prisoners were confined in spaces designed for one person.
