Core offering

The Warsaw Ghetto Museum is a state cultural institution that preserves and disseminates knowledge about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Holocaust of Polish Jews through permanent and temporary exhibitions, archaeological research at the Miła 18 site, educational walks, documentary films, educational games, and a mobile application. It conducts teacher training seminars, school programs, prison education, and international commemorative projects to educate the public about daily life, survival strategies, resistance, and the Holocaust in the Warsaw Ghetto and other ghettos in German-occupied Poland.

Product overview

Muzeum Getta Warszawskiego is a state museum under construction as a unified institution, not a multi-module platform. The museum's core offering centers on the permanent exhibition at the former Bersohn and Bauman Hospital (ul. Sienna 60/Śliska 51), which will include the permanent exhibition and Mediateka as an integrated multimedia component. Supporting offerings include the Miła 18 archaeological site with its outdoor exhibition, educational films, guided walks, and educational games—all serving the museum's mission of documenting life, resistance, and the Holocaust in the Warsaw Ghetto and other ghettos in German-occupied Poland. The collections are managed using the Muza museum inventory system.

Direct peers

• Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum: Auschwitz-Birkenau is the largest Holocaust memorial site and museum in Poland and the world. It is a direct peer because it is a Polish state museum focused on Holocaust history and education, sharing target audiences (international delegations, school groups, researchers) and operating a similar model of memorial site, permanent exhibition, and educational programming.
• Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich POLIN: POLIN is the flagship Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, covering 1,000 years of Jewish life in Poland. It is the most direct peer because it shares Warsaw as the operating geography, a closely overlapping Polish-Jewish heritage subject area, a state-funded museum model, and a similar mix of permanent exhibition, educational programming, and international institutional partnerships.

Broad incumbents

• Yad Vashem: Yad Vashem is the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel and the global benchmark institution for Holocaust documentation, education, and research. It is a broad incumbent because it overlaps substantially on Holocaust historical scholarship, teacher training, and international delegations, while operating at much larger scale and serving as the museum's partner network.
• United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: The US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. is a leading global institution for Holocaust history, exhibitions, and educational programming. It is a broad incumbent because it competes for international scholarly attention and educational content partnerships, and shares comparable state-supported funding structure and educational franchise model.
