  • The museum is currently renovating, and the ordinary exhibition is closed. Currently they have 2 mini exhibitions, which is about German History from 1848 - 1991 and integration between Germany, Poland and France. It’s a bit disappointing as the mini exhibition is really small, and you can generally finish it within 1 - 1.5 hrs. However, there are still numerous of interesting items worth to take a look. Look forward the renovation work finish and revisit in the future.
