Overview

The Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek is built around 'Milusin,' the original family villa of Poland's interwar leader, Marshal Józef Piłsudski. The modern exhibition pavilion, inaugurated in 2020, stands in contrast to the restored historic architecture of the 1923 manor. The site spans a 10-hectare parkland featuring original restored garden layouts from the 1920s. Visitors can tour the manor house where the Piłsudski family resided during the mid-1920s. The permanent exhibition covers the political and military career of Piłsudski and the history of Polish independence. Interactive displays provide historical context on the Second Polish Republic. The museum serves as an educational center focusing on the legacy of the Piłsudski era. It is located on the outskirts of Warsaw within the residential area where the Marshal retired. The facility integrates multimedia galleries with preserved domestic artifacts from the family's private life.
