Army Museum in Bialystok - Birthday of the Army Museum in Bialystok (3 September)

We invite everyone once again to join us in celebrating the birthday of the Army Museum in Bialystok. This time we will meet in the Military Park at 3 Węglowa Street, where we have invited historical re-enactors who will take us back to the realities of 17th century Europe.

The programme includes:
11:00 opening of a period nobleman’s encampment,
12:00 fencing demonstrations
14:00 drill demonstration
15:00 artillery display

There will also be an opportunity, in between demonstrations, to try your hand at a number of competitions prepared not only for children, or even to take a short fencing course and face the Master!

It will also be an ideal opportunity to see our newest exhibit, the LIM-5 aircraft!

The attraction will be complemented by games, activities and other animations prepared by educators from the Bialystok Army Museum.

The event will take place on Saturday, 3 September, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Military Park at 3 Węglowa Street.

On the next anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War, we would like to present you with an exhibition of German photographs documenting the Polish defensive war, and the period after its end, taken using the stereoscopic technique.

This consisted of taking two photographs from a slightly different point of view, which, when placed simultaneously in a goggle-like stereoscope, gave the impression of a three-dimensional image. This type of photography was also used in photoplasticons.

You can see the exhibition from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Education Hall of the Army Museum at 7 Kilińskiego Street.

Mini exhibition. Fallschirmjägerhelm M38 (from 1 September)
In the next few months, as part of our mini exhibition series, you will be able to see the Fallschirmjägerhelm M38, the helmet of a German paratrooper.

The origin of the parachute troops dates back to the 1930s. Between the wars, the United States, Great Britain and then the USSR and the Third Reich became interested in this innovative type of military. World War II and its battlefields resulted in the further development of parachute troops. Every country involved in this major conflict had its own, considered elite, paratroopers’ units and they wrote many war records. The paratrooper was associated above all with courage, valour and physical toughness.

The Fallschirmjägerhelm M38 on display is the helmet of a German paratrooper from the Second World War.

You can see the helmet from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Army Museum at 7 Kilińskiego Street.
