The Warsaw Uprising Museum opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Uprising. It is housed in a former tramway power station, a monument of early 20th century industrial architecture at the junction of Przyokopowa and Grzybowska streets in Wola.

The uniquely designed museum exhibition interacts with images, light and sound. The interior design and the use of multimedia effects bring the reality of the uprising closer. The main elements of the exhibition are large-format photographs, monitors and computers. A marked route depicts the chronology of events and leads through the various thematic rooms. Visitors move through the scenery of seventy years ago, walking on granite cobblestones among the rubble of the destroyed capital. The heart of the Museum is a steel monument that runs through all the floors of the building. A calendar of the Uprising is engraved on its walls, and the sound of a beating heart coming from it symbolises the life of Warsaw in the year forty-four. The ground floor shows the time of the occupation and the outbreak of the Uprising itself - the "W" hour. A separate room exhibits printing presses from the 1940s, all of which are in working order and print, among other things, the historic announcement of 3 August 1944, the "Information Bulletin" and occasional leaflets.
