Rising from Rubble. Warsaw rebuilds itself after the war
The Museum of Warsaw is taking a look at the rebuilding of the Polish capital after World War II. After the city was decimated by the German occupiers, all that was left was rubble and a population of under 20,000, down from 1.3 million before the war.
It’s this rubble – over 20 million cubic metres of it – which takes on a new meaning when we think of Warsaw’s rise from the ashes… John Beauchamp is in the studio with architectural researcher Dr. Adam Przywara from the Museum of Warsaw.
More information about the exhibition can be found at the museum’s website here.
