Mausoleum in Michniów

The Mausoleum features 11 connected concrete segments resembling traditional wooden cottages, with fractures and tears that represent the destruction of rural communities.

German forces attacked Michniów on July 12, 1943, resulting in the deaths of 204 residents who supported the Polish resistance movement during World War II.

The museum exhibits present historical documents, photographs, and sculptural objects made from scorched wood recovered from local huts affected by wartime destruction.

The museum opens daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering visitors access to 16,000 square meters of exhibition space with both indoor and outdoor sections.

The building's design incorporates strategic gaps between segments that filter natural light throughout the day, creating shifting patterns across the concrete surfaces.
