The experience

1,000 years of Polish Jewish history across eight interactive galleries.

An official skip-the-queue ticket to POLIN, built on the site of the former Warsaw Ghetto, covering a thousand years of Polish Jewish history across eight galleries of artefacts, paintings and interactive audio-visual installations, from the first medieval settlements to the Holocaust and the culture’s postwar revival.

An audio guide is included on most days (not Thursdays, when it costs extra on-site); the core exhibition takes roughly two hours, though many visitors return after lunch to continue the same day.
