Polish Army Museum design competition

Museum officials will select a winning preliminary concept for the future building, which will be built in the historic Citadel located in the capital's Żoliborz district. The new museum is expected to be a modern multimedia institution similar in concept to the highly successful Warsaw Uprising Museum.

The first phase of the competition will end in March 2009, when finalists will be asked to propose more detailed designs. The winner is expected to be selected in August 2009.

Construction of the museum will begin in 2009 or 2010 and should be completed by 2013. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage will fund the museum project, the cost of which is estimated at up to zł.400 million. Once the new Polish Army Museum is built, its current building on Al. Jerozolimskie in the city center will be taken over by the National Museum in Warsaw.
