Neon Muzeum
Muzeum Neonów
A niche museum preserving neon signs from Poland's Cold War era. Its colourful sign displays are popular photo spots.
The Neon Museum was founded in 2012 to preserve neon signs from Polish cities during the Cold War period of the 1950s to 1970s. At that time neon was seen as a symbol of the modernisation of socialist cities, and many signs were designed by well-known graphic designers. The museum displays more than a hundred restored signs and letters, which are lit up for visitors. The lighting makes it an ideal spot for photos, and information panels tell the story of Polish urban design. The museum was originally located in the Soho Factory complex in Praga, but there have been recent reports of a move, so check the official website for the current address before you go. Tickets cost a few dozen zł.
