POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews

The POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is recognizable by its minimalist exterior, a glass-and-copper cuboid that sits directly opposite the nineteen forty-eight Monument to the Ghetto Heroes. Its facade is subtly etched with the word Polin, appearing in both Latin and Hebrew letters. This name draws from a foundational legend of Jewish arrival in the region, which translates to either "Poland" or "rest here."
