Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw - PKiN. A beautiful building in the center of the Polish capital donated as a gift from the Soviet Union on behalf of Józef Stalin. Inspired by Moscow skyscrapers, which in turn were inspired by American art deco towers. It is the tallest building in Poland that reaches a total of 237 meters. At the top there is also a clock, which is the second largest in Europe! It houses over 3,000 rooms spread over 44 floors. Palace of Culture and Science is an example of socialist realism architecture, its interior is open to guided tours. It is the seat of many important institutions. The building was completed in 1955 and it is today one of the 'business cards' of Warsaw.


A beautiful building that very few people appreciate. I live near Warsaw and I often go to the Polish capital. I can never refrain from taking a picture of this building. His wonderful shapes knock you off your feet! For most people it is a simple construction that stands like the rest of the buildings ... For me it is something more important ... something that is not in other countries. Not only its architecture, which we will not see anywhere else in Warsaw but also its application.


Inside, various exhibitions are exhibited, such as the 'invertebrate exhibition'. Tourists may also be interested in the Museum of the Evolution of the Institute of Paleobiology, where dinosaur skeletons are displayed, and the Museum of Technology and Industry NOT presenting the pearls of Polish technical thought: motorcycles, radios, playing mechanisms and many more. An extremely valuable exhibit is the world's first hand-made film camera created by Kazimierz Prószyński over 100 years ago. It is also interesting that for over 50 years the Youth Palace has been operating here, the largest educational and educational center for children in all of Poland. There are classes in art, theater, computer science, sport and dance. There is even a swimming pool in the palace. In the middle there are also concert halls, including the legendary Congress Hall, cinema and theaters, including the playing repertoire for children, ,,the Lalka Theater''. On the thirtieth floor, where the height reaches 114 meters, there is an observation deck, which overlooks the panorama of beautiful Warsaw.



 Next to it are also places such as the central station, shopping center "Złote Tarasy" (Golden Terrace). On the opposite street is also an unusual street Chmielna, where there are unique shops and restaurants, as well as another cinema.  I believe that this is one of the most unique and unique buildings in the world. When coming to the Polish capital, nobody will be disappointed by visiting the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
