Re-opened on February 1, 2022

The Museum of Technology in Warsaw has been located in the Palace of Culture and Science building since 1955. The museum was reopened on February 1, 2022, after a 5-year hiatus due to financial problems and a change in the managing institution. The museum is gradually opening up – more permanent exhibitions will be opened in 2022. Two new permanent exhibitions can be visited: “The History of Transport – Sea, Land and Air” and “The History of Computers”. 

The transport exhibition presents the development of means of transport – from wheel to plane. The exhibition includes, among others a dozen motorcycles or a Smyk microcar that did not have a door. The exhibition “The History of Computers” shows basic simple tools, such as the abacus, first calculators, but also carousel memory for computers, transistor analog analytical machine, computer transistors, personal computers.
