Highlights include a rare 10th-century helmet, the saber of Józef Poniatowski, and the uniform of Marshal Piłsudski. The museum’s immersive dioramas and reconstructed architectural settings bring pivotal battles and historical figures to life. Visitors can explore themed galleries by era, view open-air displays of heavy weaponry, and engage with interactive exhibits. The museum’s new headquarters blends modern design with historical reverence, offering full accessibility and a rich educational experience. As one of Europe’s largest military museums, it provides a compelling journey through Poland’s martial past, from early statehood to contemporary peacekeeping missions.
