POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
The POLIN Museum is one of the most important cultural institutions in Poland, dedicated to presenting the history of Polish Jews and their centuries-long presence on Polish soil with passion and commitment.
Located in the heart of Warsaw, in a modern building designed by the architectural studio Rainer Mahlamäki & Ilmari Lahdelma, the POLIN Museum stands as a symbol of intercultural dialogue and a place of remembrance that fosters deeper understanding and respect for the shared history of Poles and Jews.
The Museum features a comprehensive permanent exhibition tracing the history of Jews in Poland from the Middle Ages to the present day. Enriched with interactive elements, multimedia, and artefacts, the exhibition offers an engaging journey through Jewish history, culture, and tradition. An important element of the Museum’s activity is its extensive educational programme, which includes workshops, lectures, meetings with experts, and cultural events.
The POLIN Museum is also a space for reflection on contemporary challenges related to tolerance, diversity, and remembrance. Regularly organised temporary exhibitions, concerts, performances, and film screenings make the Museum a dynamic centre of cultural life.
The patron of the POLIN Museum is ORLEN. By creating a space for reflection and dialogue, the Museum serves not only as a place of learning but also as a symbol of openness, inclusion, and respect for shared history.
