It is a new museum on the site of the Warsaw ghetto, opened on April 19, 2013, for the 70th anniversary of Ghetto Uprising. The museum will feature multimedia exhibits on vibrant Jewish community that flourished in Poland for a thousand years. The building, a modern structure in glass and limestone, was designed by Finnish architects Rainer Mahlamäki and Ilmari Lahdelma.

The facade is an openwork structure made of vertical printed glass panels and perforated copper panels. The glass panels are being embellished with a special screen print pattern of elegant letters taken from Latin and Hebrew alphabets. Together, the letters signify the word "Polin" - the Hebrew word for Poland - interpreted as "Po-lin": po ("here") lin ("[you should] dwell"). This surface changes in different weather conditions, sunshine or clouds, day or night, giving different effects for the viewer.
