Entering the Dialogue Centre Upheavals we immerse in the past – figuratively and literally – descending to a “well of history”, to the abyss to see the events: beautiful and terryfying; to learn about the fates of people: heroes, oppressors or ordinary individuals.

Darkness and silence, overwhelming at the very entrance, help to search for the answers to questions about identity, patriotism, the good and the evil. We enter a space which tells about years 1939-1989. The starting point is the beginning of World War II and the moment when Poland lost its independence again. Polish way to freedom and price to pay for it are the core of the exhibition narration. The most important exhibits, photographs, documents and films are included in the main layer of the exhibition. The visitors may learn using interactive kiosks. In each space, history enthusiasts find maps and information regarding places related to the stories shown in the exhibition, as well, as biographies of people – positive and negative characters of their times.

The subject of the exhibition is not simple. Thought exchange, continuous discussion, presentation of various points of view are the basis of the Dialogue Centre Upheavals. The history lasts, its marks are to be found everywhere, right beside and hundreds of kilometers away. The Dialogue Centre Upheavals is a starting point, signpost leading to the most interesting areas related to the plots presented on the exhibition.
