Neon Museum

The museum offers some basic information about neons and there is no prominent neon sign that has some history. Very generic.. they got some neon signs from old establishments and displayed here. Unless you are totally free and have visited all the museum, I don't recommend it usually. And also a bit pricy

A hidden gem in Praga, the Warsaw district across the Vistula. The exhibition is small and quick to explore, but set aside some 50 minutes to watch the masterful documentary on Warsaw's neon signs, shown in the tiny cinema attached to the museum.

Super cool, different museum, not very big, but we have spent around 30-45 min, cool insight in culture and design during communist time in Poland Totally recommended

Unique museum with lots of interesting neon signs to look at. It’s very small so it doesn’t take a lot of time to go through. Staff are very nice at the ticket counter.

Very interesting small private museum with an impressive collection. It tells the story of how neon signs were used in communist Poland. Depending on how long you look at the exhibits, it could take up to 45 minutes. There is a toilet and you can leave your small bag behind the ticket desk.

It's a really interesting little exhibition, but unless you're interested in neon history, I'd only recommend it if you're in the area. There's nothing really wrong with the museum, except that you can see everything in 3 minutes if you want, and the toilets don't look like they're meant for visitors. But it's really interesting both the history and the beauty of the neons, but unfortunately the location of the museum is so far away from everything that even though the ticket price for the museum is very cheap, the trip there might not be worth it. By this I mean the cost of the transport and the time spent with it. If it was in the city centre where you walk around anyway then it would be 5/5.

A lovely museum project preserving some of Warsaw's old neon signs that gave the city a lovely colorful glow throughout its nights during communism. It's small, affordable, and does it's mission justice, but nothing that will blow your mind in today's flourishing modern museum culture.

Very cool little musem of warsaw neons. Pretty untypical exhibition. Might not be relevant if u dont recognize warsaw from communistic times. Good for one off visit. But cant say its a memorable experience. Definitely far away from it.

It's a small museum, but if you're into neon signs, it's a must! In one large room are dozens of Soviet era neon signs that are beautiful! Although professional cameras aren't allowed, photos taken with a phone are encouraged. I stopped in for 45 minutes on a Monday afternoon. I paid the 16 PLN ticket, read the history, and saw every sign. There's a theater that plays a video about the signs in Polish.

Very cool museum in a novel setting. Worth a short walk to have a look after visiting the nearby Museum of Life Under Communism. There is an informative timeline that describes the progress of post-war politics in Poland and how the government saw neon signs as a way of being modern and distinctive without compromising socialist values. There is further material on the technology, design and art of the signs - and of course, the signs themselves. A unique and fun experience after some of the more sobering museums in Warsaw.

Since I've yet to make it to the bone yard in Vegas I had to go to the Neon Museum in Warsaw! It's not a large display. Once we paid our entrance fee the gal truly got up and flipped the switch in the wall to turn on the display. Many of the signs didn't have any neon in them but they were cool old signs. There was a lot of signage in a small space; quit a few signs lined the outside walls of the building. Plus there was the history of neon in general and in Poland. It's a funky like museum that's worth a look. It's located in Soho Factory which is always a good time.

I've always had a somewhat casual interest in things like typography, in that I enjoy it quite a bit, though I don't make any claims of expertise. So of course a museum full of letters, words, and signs is going to be interesting to me. After wandering through the SoHo Factory a bit to find the Neon Museum, we finally came across the giant letters outside, announcing our arrival. Upon entering, we saw that it was a big open room with various partitions, making it more like a few long hallways of signs. Once we paid our entrance fee of 10 PLN (about €2.40) we wandered through the museum and checked out all the signs. The history about the signs and where they once were located or who donated them was on various placards around the room, though the signs truly spoke for themselves. It's not a museum that requires much time or energy, but it certainly is beautiful. And if you want even more information, you can pay 120 PLN (about €28) for a guided tour in English (the Polish tour is slightly less). All in all, a nice way to spend a good 30 minutes or so. My only complaints (and the reason for four stars instead of five) are that 1) the website doesn't list the entrance price (though it's not much), 2) the staff doesn't respond to email inquiries, and 3) no one working actually seemed to care whether or not we were there; no greeting was given to us because the three people at the counter were too wrapped up in a conversation to look up and say hello when we arrived. But then again, I came for the signs, not the customer service. So if you can overlook that, you should definitely check the museum out.

Such a cool way to explore the history of Warsaw. I don't realize how influential Neon was in the story of the city, and each of the eras that this city has been through. Most definitely worth the visit!

What an absolute gem! I found this place via some online search. I'm so glad we made this stop part of our trip! We arrived about an hour before closing and the young lady at the counter was very nice. She couldn't answer many questions but she was still nice and tried to be as helpful as she could be. I appreciated that all the signs explaining where the neon came from was in english. Cost wise, she told us it was a recommended donation of $10 but we could do more or less. Definitely a great hidden gem. Would highly recommend this if you're in Warsaw. Won't take you long to go through...maybe 20-30 min but worth the time.
