The Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk, it is located in a symbolic architectural space, which is also a space of memory, 200 meters from the historic Polish Post Office in Gdansk and 3 kilometers across the water from the Westerplatte Peninsula, which was attacked in September 1939. The museums spatial division into three areas symbolizes the relationships between the wartime past, the present and the future: the past is hidden on the buildings underground levels, the present appears in the open space around the building and the future is expressed by its rising protrusion, which includes a viewing platform.
The monolithic tower features surfaces set at angles as much as 45 degrees from the vertical, lending it a dynamic appearance that alters when viewed from different directions.
