New Building
On December 15, 2008, the Museum of the Polish Army announced that it will sponsor an international competition to choose an architectural design for its new premises and surrounding area. The building will be built in the historic Citadel located in Warsaw's Żoliborz district. The new museum is expected to be a modern multimedia institution similar in concept to the highly successful Warsaw Uprising Museum. The winner is expected to be selected in August 2009, construction of the museum will begin in 2009 or 2010 and should be completed by 2013. Once the new Polish Army Museum is built, its current building in the city center will be taken over by the National Museum in Warsaw.
