The State Museum of Majdanek, Historical museum in Kośminek, Poland

The State Museum at Majdanek displays authentic gas chambers, crematoria, and prisoner barracks from the former Nazi concentration camp established in 1941.

The museum opened in autumn 1944 following liberation by Soviet forces, making it the first memorial institution of its kind in the world.

The museum preserves original documents, photographs, and personal belongings of prisoners while conducting educational programs about the Holocaust and World War II.

Visitors can access guided tours in multiple languages, with the museum recommending against bringing children under 13 due to the sensitive content.

The memorial includes a mausoleum containing human ashes and bone fragments collected from the camp grounds after liberation in 1944.
