This interactive museum is an exceptional place to gain a deeper understanding of Warsaw’s history. It was founded in commemoration of an event that profoundly changed the city: the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Listen to the oral accounts given by insurgents, go down into the sewers — similar to the ones that insurgents used to move around the city — and see The City of Ruins, a bird’s-eye view of Warsaw burnt to the ground. Don’t forget to see the murals painted by Polish artists on the Wall of Art. The museum building is interesting in its own right since it was previously an old electric power plant for trams.

Nokonoshima is a really beautiful place. This island has great walks and cycling routes where you can enjoy the richness of the Japanese countryside.

The Zollen Collierly is a fascinating insight into coal mining and the lives of Dortmund’s colliers. The collier was the first technical building that was of international importance in Germany. The exhibition will takes you in the world of rough working conditions, and teaches you about the stories of the men and women who worked there during the 20th century.
