Must see museum

Danny_S, Jul 2026
Very informative and interesting guided tour. Our guide was considerate with one of our members who required a slower pace and helped him participate while showing him areas to rest while we continued tour. Highly recommend visiting this museum with a guide

Top-tier WWII Museum

Joseph_V, Jun 2026
Very very comprehensive Museum that covers all the repressive regjmes that appeared prior to WWII. The combined operations of the Germans. Italians, Japanese, & Russian resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000,000 people. The exact count will never be known. This staggering carnage was brutal beyond comprehension.

An experience not to miss !

Our guide Malgorzata was amazing. She was so educated / professional and punctual. She used all the time we needed to answer to our questions. She went an extra mile for us ! I strongly recommend her as a guide!

Well done!
