There are over 60 museums and galleries in Warsaw which are accessible to the public.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.gracetour.waw.pl/przewodnik-po-warszawie/muzea-warszawy/#:~:text=I%20tak%20przy%20kolejnych%20wycieczkach,z%20nich%20nie%20zosta%C5%82o%20zaprezentowanych. |title=Muzea Warszawy |access-date=28 November 2020 |archive-date=6 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201206035105/https://www.gracetour.waw.pl/przewodnik-po-warszawie/muzea-warszawy/#:~:text=I%20tak%20przy%20kolejnych%20wycieczkach,z%20nich%20nie%20zosta%C5%82o%20zaprezentowanych. |url-status=live }}</ref> Among the positions are the world's first [[Poster Museum, Wilanów|Museum of Posters]] boasting one of the largest collections of art [[poster]]s in the world,<ref name=postermuseum/> and the [[POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews|Museum of the History of Polish Jews]]. Among the most prestigious ones are the [[National Museum in Warsaw|National Museum]] with a collection of works whose origin ranges in time from antiquity until the present epoch as well as one of the best collections of paintings in the country including some paintings from Adolf Hitler's private collection,<ref name=Schwarz/> and the [[Polish Army Museum|Museum of the Polish Army]] whose set portrays the history of arms.

The collections of [[Łazienki Palace|Łazienki]] and [[Wilanów Palace|Wilanów]] palaces focus on the paintings of the "old masters", as do those of the Royal Castle which displays the [[Palais Lanckoroński#Lanckoroński Collection|Lanckoroński Collection]] including two paintings by Rembrandt.<ref name=Wetering/> The Palace in [[Natolin Palace and Park Complex|Natolin]], a former rural residence of Duke [[Czartoryski family|Czartoryski]], is another venue with its interiors and park accessible to tourists.

The famous [[Copernicus Science Centre]] is an interactive science museum containing over 450 exhibits, enabling visitors to carry out experiments and discover the laws of science for themselves. Warsaw does not have a natural history museum. Yet, it hosts small museums of [[Museum of Evolution of Polish Academy of Sciences|Evolution]] and [[Museum of the Earth of the Polish Academy of Sciences|the Earth]], which play a similar role.

Holding Poland's largest private collection of art, the [[Museum of John Paul II Collection|Carroll Porczyński Collection Museum]]<ref>Official name: ''Museum of John Paul II Collection''</ref> displays works from such varied artists as [[Paris Bordone]], [[Cornelis van Haarlem]], [[José de Ribera]], [[William-Adolphe Bouguereau]], [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir]], and [[Vincent van Gogh]]<ref name="muzeummalarstwa" /> along with some copies of masterpieces of European painting.

A fine tribute to the fall of Warsaw and [[history of Poland]] can be found in the [[Warsaw Rising Museum|Warsaw Uprising Museum]] and in the [[Katyń Museum]] which preserves the memory of that crime.<ref name=Baker/> The Warsaw Uprising Museum also operates a rare preserved and operating historic stereoscopic theatre, the [[Warsaw Fotoplastikon]]. The [[Museum of Independence]] preserves patriotic and political objects connected with Poland's struggles for independence. Dating back to 1936 the [[Museum of Warsaw|Warsaw Historical Museum]] contains 60 rooms which host a permanent exhibition of the history of Warsaw from its origins until today.

The 17th century Royal [[Ujazdów Castle]] houses the Centre for Contemporary Art, with some permanent and temporary exhibitions, concerts, shows and creative workshops. The Centre realizes about 500 projects a year. The [[Zachęta]] National Gallery of Art, the oldest exhibition site in Warsaw, with a tradition stretching back to the mid-19th century organises exhibitions of [[modern art]] by Polish and [[International Artists]] and promotes art in many other ways. Since 2011, [[Warsaw Gallery Weekend]] is held on the last weekend of September.

28 September 2023 the opening of the new building of the [[Museum of Polish History]] located at the [[Warsaw Citadel]] took place.

The city also possesses some oddities such as the [[Neon Museum, Warsaw|Neon Museum]], the [[Museum of Caricature, Warsaw|Museum of Caricature]],<ref name=Exhibitions/> the [[Museum of John Paul II and Primate Wyszyński]], the [[Legia Warsaw Museum]], and a Motorisation Museum in [[Otrębusy]].<ref name=motoryzacji/>
