The Museum of Communism was a planned museum focusing on the
communist period of Polish history, located in the
Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. The idea for the museum emerged in 1999 by Czeslaw Bielecki, Jacek Fedorowicz, and
Andrzej Wajda, with the cooperation of
Teresa Bogucka, Anna Fedorowicz, and
Krystyna Zachwatowicz. Currently, its implementation is interrupted. In August 2011, it became known that its construction has been canceled because of lack of financial resources.
It should not be confused with the Museum of Life in the Polish People's Republic, located at ul. Piękna 28/34.
Exhibits
The exhibits should include photographs, videos, and other pieces that illustrate violence and acts of resistance during the Communist era. Displays will detail the poor quality of goods, free healthcare, free education, advances in science, militarism, and constant control.
