"all the staff was really nice and welcoming, explaining polish history and art. i got to see all the corridors, even the 90th anniversary ones. the pieces displayed are astonishingly beautiful, some even sublime. (although you're not allowed to take photos in the gallery). the gift shop has many souvenirs and they are affordable enough! (as well as the tickets, you can get a student discount). i really recommend visiting this museum."

"As a proud Polish American I came here with my family and we had a great time walking through this lovely little museum. We arrived within an hour of closing time so we had to rush through most of it but there was a lot of beautiful art work and a couple interesting cases full of historical items. The lady that sold us tickets was an absolute delight!"

"One of my favorite museums I’ve ever visited. It has art in almost every form, painting, stained glass, sculpture, tapestry, ceramics, clothing, etc. The tour guide, Branka, was easily the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Good sense of humor, incredibly knowledgeable, and managed to give us a brief tour of the whole museum in roughly half an hour since they were closing soon. I am most definitely going to come back again."

"This museum is awesome! Being Polish-American myself this was a great place to learn more about Polish history and Polish history in America. The employees of the museum are extremely passionate and are able to explain the history of Poland and Poles in America to any person that comes in. I personally had a tour guide and had an amazing experience. I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in learning more about Poland!"

"We very much enjoyed our visit to this surprising museum. We practically had it to ourselves, and a young Polish docent gave us a great introduction and quizzed us on Polish American history. There are many interesting artifacts and artworks to study. The art deco style posters were particularly memorable."
