Visit the Archaeological Excavations and the ‘Miła’ Exhibition

Starting April 26, we are reopening the archaeological site at the intersection of Miła and Dubois streets (near the Anielewicz Mound).

This is the only place in contemporary Warsaw where one can truly come close to the no-longer-existing city and realize that large parts of it still lie beneath the feet of its residents. Our site will be open every weekend from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM until June 22 of this year.

In addition to the archaeological site, our newest outdoor exhibition, ‘Miła’, will also be available for visitors. We will also provide access to audio guides. Let us recall that during the archaeological works in the summer of 2022, near the so-called Anielewicz Bunker, researchers reached the buried cellars of 19th-century tenement houses that were destroyed during or shortly after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The excavated cellars belonged to buildings with dual addresses: Miła 18 / Muranowska 39 and Miła 20 / Muranowska 41. In the cellar of the building at Muranowska 41, fragments of a structure were uncovered that likely formed part of the so-called Anielewicz Bunker. At the site, several thousand artifacts were found, including religious objects such as tefillin, fragments of Jewish prayer books, and vessels for ritual hand washing.

On-site volunteers will share insights into the ongoing archaeological research and the history of the Warsaw Ghetto. We invite you to join us!
