What to see
An open-air park of military equipment: a dozen or so military vehicles and aircraft, among them tanks and self-propelled guns.
Wikipedia lists among the most valuable exhibits a Soviet BM-13 “Katyusha” rocket launcher on a 1944 Studebaker truck chassis, a T-34/85 tank and an ISU-122 self-propelled gun. The interiors of the last two are sometimes opened on selected holidays and events.
The permanent exhibition “Za mundurem panny sznurem” (“Maidens follow the uniform”) shows uniforms, weapons and equipment of Polish formations.
History
Fort Winiary was built by the Prussians in 1828–1842. In the 1960s the fort was largely demolished and a park of 100 hectares was laid out on its site.
The museum was established in the 1960s. Since 1998 it has been called the Armament Museum. Earlier it operated, among other names, as the Museum of the Liberation of the City of Poznań and then as the Museum of the Poznań Citadel.
Good to know
The “Poznań” Army Museum operates in the same park. A combined ticket for both museums costs PLN 20 (reduced PLN 12).
On Tuesdays admission to the museum is free. A guided tour requires advance booking and costs PLN 70 in Polish and PLN 90 in English. A museum lesson costs PLN 100. Tickets can also be bought online at tobilet.pl.
