The Museum presents the Polish contribution to the victory of the capitalist world over Soviet communism. The exhibition covers the entire Cold War period and uses more than 50 pieces of multimedia through touch screens, multimedia tables, VR goggles, an autonomous robot, and a cinema.
It is the only institution that depicts the rivalry between the two blocs during the Cold War period from a Polish perspective. The content of the exhibition presents the entire period of the Cold War, including all countries taking part in the fight against the Evil Empire.
However, a significant part of it is based on the messages, commitment, and deeds of three great figures of the last two decades of the Cold War (President Ronald Reagan, the Holy Father John Paul II and General Ryszard Kukliński).
The dynamic combination of architecture, the history of the location of the museum (during the Polish People's Republic, this address housed the communist militia station where high school graduate Grzegorz Przemyk, a well-known victim of martial law, was beaten to death), and the museum's narrative creates an unforgettable encounter with history, its consequences, victims, aggressors and survivors, who experienced these events and stood up for their truth.
The museum is open to all visitors, both Polish and foreign, of all ages. Additionally, the Cold War Museum is the first and only museum in Poland to have a robot that serves as an autonomous guide!
