What to see
The permanent exhibition “Faithful to the Oath” presents the combat trail of the “Poznań” Army.
The collections include documents, banners, weapons, uniforms and iconographic material on the Polish Army of the interwar period, especially Greater Poland units. A collection of photographs of everyday life and service in Greater Poland garrisons stands out.
An important source is a large-format plan of Poznań from 1932 with military buildings and land marked.
About the place
The museum occupies a casemate corridor called the Small Lock (Mała Śluza). Originally it was the Western Viaduct of Fort Winiary, which linked it with Fort St Adalbert (Haka).
In 1974 the first of fourteen plaques commemorating units and formations of the “Poznań” Army was unveiled on the counterscarp wall. The permanent exhibition was opened on 31 August 1982.
