The Committee for Ukrainian Museums

Russian aggression against Ukraine has already led to countless crimes and caused victims and suffering. In such circumstances, people are most important. The people facing barbarous bombing and the soldiers fighting against the aggressor. Today the Ukrainians pay with their lives to defend their Homeland. However, any war leads also to irreparable loss of cultural and national heritage.

Committee for Ukrainian Museums: First transport with aid for Ukrainian museologists

Russian aggression towards Ukraine poses a threat to the century-old cultural heritage of the country. The most valuable objects of Ukrainian culture could be destroyed. Polish people understand well what the extermination of cultural assets entails – destruction of museum collections, library resources and archival material.

Save Ukrainian museums - support the fundraiser

The Committee for Ukrainian Museums – founded to help Ukrainian cultural institutions in the face of Russian aggression – invites all, to support the cause and raise funds for the acquisition of electronic equipment that will help Ukrainian museums digitalize their collections.

“Our joint effort to preserve the cultural and national heritage of Ukraine is our joint struggle”

In order to prevent catastrophe when cultural property is being destroyed we have established The Committee for Ukrainian Museums (Komitet Pomocy Muzeom Ukrainy) to support our colleagues in Ukraine, says Jan Ołdakowski, Director of the Warsaw Rising Museum (PAP). “Our joint effort to preserve the cultural and national heritage of Ukraine is our joint struggle”, he adds.

A donation for Museum's expansion

The Warsaw Rising Museum will receive a donation from Villum Foundation, part of the VELUX foundations, which has decided to support the Museum’s expansion with a grant of 24.5 million Danish kroners (approx. 13.8 million PLN).

June 3

The Museum is open again

The Warsaw Rising Museum opens again on June 3. The opening hours, visiting path and visiting conditions will change. Visitors can choose between a new audio guide track and a guided tour of the exhibition in accordance with applicable safety regulations. People who prefer to stay indoors or live far away but would still like to see the exhibition will be offered an opportunity to listen about the events of August and September 1944 in their homes.

Preparatory works for the Museum’s expansion have just begun

Earthworks have begun, marking the start of the Warsaw Rising Museum expansion. This is an important step in the ongoing investment, which will result in a new building adjacent to the Museum. The new space will help the Museum better meet visitors’ needs and expand its exhibition, educational and cultural programme. Current works do not affect visitors’ traffic. The new space is scheduled to open in 2029.

Exhibits from the Warsaw Rising Museum at the Exhibition in the Netherlands

On 9 April 2026, a temporary exhibition titled “Sosabowski: Een familie verdeeld door oorlog” (Sosabowski: A Family Divided by War) opened at the Airborne Museum Hartenstein in Oosterbeek, Netherlands. The Warsaw Rising Museum provided exhibits from its collections for the show.

Warsaw Rising Museum exhibition in Haren, Germany

On 15 September, the Warsaw Rising Museum opened the exhibition “Warsaw Rising 1944” in Haren, Germany. The location is not accidental. Between 1945 and 1948, Haren was named Maczków and was a Polish town in the British occupation zone. Poles who, after the war, could not or did not want to return to their country settled there. Among them were also Warsaw insurgents — soldiers who only a few months earlier had fought for Warsaw and, after the surrender, had been sent to German POW camps.

On December 13th museum stores will be closed

We apologize for the inconveniences!

Frantic #7 Air Operation archive now at the Warsaw Rising Museum

On 18 September 1944 USAAF B-17 bombers dropped supplies to Poles besieged at the time of the Warsaw Rising. Thanks to cooperation with the Air Force Historical Research Agency, Frantic #7 archival documents are now at the Warsaw Rising Museum.
