Warsaw Museums

(Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland)

There are so many different museums in Warsaw that it is likely that you will only have the chance to visit a small percentage, so it is worth planning ahead and choosing those which most appeal to your tastes. Warsaw's museums cover a wide range of different topics, including themes such as archaeology, emigration, ethnography, industry, pharmaceutical arts, sport and transport. There is even a museum for measurement, where many interesting instruments from the past can be viewed, including a rather special 150-year-old solar-powered watch.

A number of Poland's most famous residents are celebrated at Warsaw's museums, with the life of pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin remembered at the centrally located Chopin Museum on the Ulica Okolnik. The Nobel Prize winning Marie Sklodowska Curie is also the subject of a noteworthy museum and her pioneering works in the field of radiation and x-rays are clearly documented at the Curie Museum on Ulica Freta. For children, the Museum of Evolution and Institute of Paleobiology at the Palace of Culture is a must and the dinosaur skeletons are always a big hit, together with the collection of rare and exotic creatures, and the recreation of various Triassic landscapes.
