Muzeum Powstania Wielkopolskiego 1918-1919 (Museum of Wielkopolska Uprising 1918-1919)

Description

The Museum's new permanent display depicts Wielkopolska's path to independence and, in particular, the history of the Wielkopolska Uprising: the biggest victorious insurgency in Poland's history. The exhibition is made up of two main parts located in the ground and first floors. Thematically, it is subdivided into a number of sections dedicated to specific issues or events in the history of Poland and Wielkopolska covering the period from 1793 to 1939.

The exhibits, as well as the graphics, panels and verbal commentaries, narrate the story. The picture is made complete by multimedia presentations and educational props - replicas of uniforms and rifles and reprints of Polish press articles. The texts placed on panels and exhibit captions were made in both Polish and English.
