It is also appreciated by experts: in 2016, we were honoured – for the first time in history - with the two most prestigious museum awards. Today we welcome the millionth guest to our core exhibition. We invite all those who has not yet had a chance to tour the exhibition,” says Prof. Dariusz Stola, Director of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
