Description
The Polish History Museum, located within the historic Warsaw Citadel, is a landmark project that blends cultural heritage with contemporary design. Inspired by the site’s 18th-century layout, the complex features the Polish History Museum at its core, with two symmetrical Polish Army Museum buildings on either side.
Spanning 44,000 m², the building consists of four above-ground floors and two underground levels, housing educational spaces, an auditorium, a cinema-theater hall, a library, dining areas and a panoramic viewing platform overlooking Warsaw. The museum also plays a dynamic educational role, organizing events and temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
To enhance the visitor experience, COOL-LITE® SKN 083 II solar control coated glass combined with ECLAZ® ZEN II on extra-clear DIAMANT® was chosen for the façade and roof triple glazing, for its ability to highlight the museum’s works of art by ensuring very high natural light transmission while maintaining energy efficiency and exceptional thermal insulation.
In addition, the use of STADIP SILENCE® laminated glass made it possible to achieve the high level of acoustic insulation performance expected in such a location.
All these features contribute to a bright, open and comfortable interior, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the exhibits and cultural activities. By combining historical inspiration with modern materials and sustainable solutions, the Polish History Museum stands as a symbol of knowledge and remembrance.
