Katyn Museum (Muzeum Katyńskie)

The Katyn Museum, located in the 19th-century Warsaw Citadel, serves as a poignant memorial to the victims of the 1940 Katyn massacre. The fortress, originally commissioned by Tsar Nicolas I to house Russian troops, now houses personal effects, documentation, and portraits that vividly evoke the World War II tragedy. Visitors can explore these exhibits, which are complemented by an audio guide that provides historical context and fills in the missing pieces of this somber chapter in history.
