“(Part of the time it was due to an unfortunate basement flooding issue they had to clean up so we were understanding, but thankfully the staff there let us browse and purchase some items in the gift shop and then surprised us by finding someone to give us a last-minute personalized tour”

“all the staff was really nice and welcoming, explaining polish history and art.”
all the staff was really nice and welcoming, explaining polish history and art. i got to see all the corridors, even the 90th anniversary ones. the pieces displayed are astonishingly beautiful, some even sublime. (although you're not allowed to take photos in the gallery). the gift shop has many souvenirs and they are affordable enough! (as well as the tickets, you can get a student discount). i really recommend visiting this museum.

“As a proud Polish American I came here with my family and we had a great time walking through this lovely little museum.”
As a proud Polish American I came here with my family and we had a great time walking through this lovely little museum. We arrived within an hour of closing time so we had to rush through most of it but there was a lot of beautiful art work and a couple interesting cases full of historical items. The lady that sold us tickets was an absolute delight!

“10 / 10 Friendly staff.”
10 / 10 Friendly staff! My wife and I donated over 1,000 polish books to this library. The library and museum are rich in history and kindness from the staff. Very educational. Very fun.

“Highly recommend a visit to this museum!”
Highly recommend a visit to this museum!! Krzyś was a fantastic tour guide and Beatrix is an incredibly kind and knowledgeable historian. I learned so much from both of them today. There are so many fascinating articles and artifacts - art, woodwork, stained glass, instruments, letters, clothing, and photos. I only wish I would’ve had more time. WOW! Many thanks!

“One of my favorite museums I’ve ever visited.”
One of my favorite museums I’ve ever visited. It has art in almost every form, painting, stained glass, sculpture, tapestry, ceramics, clothing, etc. The tour guide, Branka, was easily the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Good sense of humor, incredibly knowledgeable, and managed to give us a brief tour of the whole museum in roughly half an hour since they were closing soon. I am most definitely going to come back again.

“We very much enjoyed our visit to this surprising museum.”
We very much enjoyed our visit to this surprising museum. We practically had it to ourselves, and a young Polish docent gave us a great introduction and quizzed us on Polish American history. There are many interesting artifacts and artworks to study. The art deco style posters were particularly memorable.

“This museum is awesome.”
This museum is awesome! Being Polish-American myself this was a great place to learn more about Polish history and Polish history in America. The employees of the museum are extremely passionate and are able to explain the history of Poland and Poles in America to any person that comes in. I personally had a tour guide and had an amazing experience. I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in learning more about Poland!

“A great museum of Polish culture and history.”
A great museum of Polish culture and history. You will see many exhibits from different periods of the Republic of Poland. You can only truly see how interesting and well-arranged this museum is by being inside and seeing the exhibitions.
