Army Museum in Bialystok

The theme of this walk in the city centre will be events from the period before the outbreak of war between the Third Reich and the USSR. The story will focus on the place of Bialystok in the war plans of both totalitarian states. We will visit places that are well known to Bialystok residents, with a perspective of the 1940-1941 period.

The walk will start at 1 p.m. from the Army Museum in Białystok, 7 Kilińskiego St. Participation free of charge.

The guide will be: Piotr Białokozowicz

Together with the Harley-Davidson Podlasie Club, we invite you to “𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆” whose main events will take place on the square in front of the Branicki Palace, and admission to the Museum on that day will be free for visitors.

A parade will arrive at the Branicki Palace and there will be an exhibition of Harley-Davidson motorbikes and concerts, including the bands “Mr. Pollack” and “4Szmery”. You will also meet hussars, Vikings and Slavs from reconstruction groups, as well as us with an educational stand.
The event will take place on Saturday (9 July) from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. On that day, visits to the Army Museum exhibitions will be free of charge.

A meeting with Krzysztof Wojczal, a blogger, geopolitics expert and author of the book “𝗧𝗿𝘇𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗸𝗮𝗱𝗮” took place on 24 June at the headquarters of our museum. For those who could not attend the meeting in person, we have prepared a video record of the event.

The event took place on Friday (24 June), at the Museum’s headquarters. The conversation held concerned the current geopolitical situation and the war in Ukraine.
The talk was led by PhD Łukasz Radulski (Centre for Military Research History).

We are happy to announce that the Army Museum has received a grant of 77,900 PLN in the ‘Culture without barriers’ project, implemented as part of the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development 2014-2020.

For the purposes of the above action, the Museum staff will be trained and there will be meetings with representatives of communities with special needs. Accessibility tools will be implemented that will make a lasting contribution to improving the accessibility of the facility. Among other things, a tyfloplan dedicated to visually impaired visitors and a portable FM system and induction loop for hearing impaired visitors will be installed at the Museum headquarters. A special place in the project will be given to ensuring accessibility for people in the area of understanding, including children and young people with intellectual disabilities and autism. With a view to working with these audiences, the project authors have planned to purchase an alternative communication programme and to make thematic sensory boards.

Programme implementation date: July 2022 – June 2023
