Core Exhibition, POLIN Museum, 6 Anielewicza Street
When and where from did the first Jews arrive in Poland? How did Poland become home of the largest Jewish community in the world?

The narrative exhibition at POLIN Museum uses historic objects, polychromies, models, multimedia and written text to tell the 1,000 year history of Polish Jews.
