Top 10 Museums in Western Poland, Western Poland

October 10, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

Hugging the German border, Western Poland is made up of the West Pomeranian, Lubusz and Lower Silesian Voivodships (Provinces), the largest cities of which are Szczecin, Gorzow Wielkopolski and Wroclaw respectively. Both Szczecin and Wroclaw are beautiful medieval cities with many popular attractions. Drawno National Park, part of the massive Drawska Forest, lies at the convergence of West Pomerania, Lubusz and Greater Poland. Lubusz is also home to the bird-filled Ujscie Warty National Park.

Gross-Rosen Museum in Rogoznica

Reviewed By Travelingjohn123 - Peterlee, United Kingdom

Well worth the 1 hour drive from Wroclaw if you are staying there for a few days. Don’t judge it or compare it to other camps as this is a big mistake - it is certainly no Auchwitz or Birkenau, but it is well capable of standing alone as a tourist attraction and a monument to awful events of the past in its own right. There are a selection of buildings, huts to see and also the quarry- enough to imagine the suffering that went on there during the war.

Stalag Luft III Prisoner Camp Museum

POW Camps Museum was built in 1971. It commemorates POW camps set up in Zagan (German Sagan) during WW2. One of them was infamous Stalag Luft 3 for allied airmen known from the mass breakout of 76 prisoners in 1944. The event was immortalized in the 1963 film “The Great Escape”.

Fired by the "re-enactment" by Attenborough, McQueen, Bronson, Garner, Coburn, Pleasance, McCallum, Jackson and, of course, wee Angus Lennie in the 1963 film "The Great Escape", we were fortunate to visit where it all really happened (the real escape in March 1944) at Stalag Luft III. I am merely backing-up the comments of colleague the CityDetective whose views I share. Informative and detailed guided tour by Marek set the scene and filled us in with things we did not already know or understand was followed by visits to the sites of Hut 104, Tunnel Harry, the Guard Tower, the site of "the Cooler" (where Stevie-boy pitched his baseball), the Camp Hospital, the old Zagan Railway Station, the Memorial to the 50, the Mass Grave of Stalag VIIIC and more besides (make sure you visit the statue of Captain Virgil Hilts' escape motorbike immortalised in the main square in Zagan). Fascinating historical site to witness. We had a lot of fun too, re-enacting the run from the end of Harry to the forest beyond, with aid of a pull-rope. Only disappointment was that the model tunnel built a few years ago at the museum, allowing you into and through the perspex-covered tunnel with its trolley and track, is permanently shut so the ultimate experienced is presently denied.

Miedzyrzecki Fortified Region, Museum of Fortifications and Bats

Reviewed By torel590 - Oslo, Norway

I visited the “Festungsfront Oder-Warthe-Bogen” on July 30, 2019. I attended a group with an excellent English-speaking guide, but I learned afterwards that the group got him more based on a private initiative and not by the museum. The lady in the ticket office could not speak English (or didn’t want to) - only Polish. She was not very helpful. Is this the way to sell this very interesting site? Anyhow, I got a splendid two hours round trip in bunkers no 717 and 718 40 meters underground and walked through the long impressive tunnels, which really reminded me of my visit to the Maginot line in 2015. If you are interested in history, go there despite the low service-mindedness from the museum

Fort Gerharda

If you are interest in history, take tour in that fort. Only bit bad for non polish or german tourist, is that all subscriptions are almost only on polish and german, but anyway nice place.
