Eksploseum in Bydgoszcz

Eksploseum is a war museum in Bydgoszcz housed in a former explosives factory. The site consists of several industrial buildings connected by underground tunnels that display wartime machinery and production methods.

The factory was established in 1939 and produced explosives for the German army until 1945. After the war, the site lay abandoned for years before being turned into a museum.

The exhibits show how factory workers lived and worked during wartime under difficult conditions. The displayed items reveal the direct connection between everyday labor and military manufacturing.

Visitors are guided in groups through the complex with explanations at each stop. The site is mainly open during warmer months, and wearing comfortable shoes is important since there is considerable walking involved.

The site still holds the original nitroglycerin production machinery exactly as it was used during the war. These machines remain in their wartime state, allowing visitors to understand the daily dangers factory workers faced.
