Polish Army Museum, Military museum in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland.
The Polish Army Museum is a military museum in Warsaw located at the Citadel, displaying extensive collections of artifacts and equipment. The exhibitions are organized into five thematic modules covering periods from the 10th century to modern times.
The museum was founded in 1920 by decree of Marshal Józef Piłsudski and originally opened on Podwale Street. It later relocated to the Citadel, where it now presents its collections in a modern setting.
The exhibition displays Polish military traditions through weapons, uniforms, and paintings from different periods. You can observe how soldiers' equipment and clothing evolved across the centuries.
Access and navigation are helped by clear signage guiding visitors through the different sections. It is best to allow plenty of time to explore all the modules thoroughly.
The entrance doorframe preserves a charred inscription from World War II, left from when the building served as a Nazi warehouse. This subtle marking tells a hidden story about the building's own past.
