The History
The Warsaw Uprising erupted on August 1, 1944. That was the fifth year of the German occupation. Uprising ended after 63 days of heroic battle.
The institution of the museum was established in 1983. However, construction works took place for many years. Finally, Rising Museum opened officially on July 31, 2004. This date was marking the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.
Sponsors of the museum did good research on the history of the Uprising as well as belongings of the Polish Underground State. They collected and also maintained hundreds of important artifacts.
