After four years of renovation and redesign, the Museum of Warsaw reopens

Curator Jaroslaw Trybus points to a glass display case with an ornate brass door handle inside. Seemingly banal, the 19th-century curio is one of the few things that remains of Warsaw`s old city hall, which like 90 percent of the Polish capital, was destroyed during World War II. `The door handle was ripped out by force, which you can see by the trim plate, by the city hall janitor during the Warsaw Uprising,` Trybus told reporters at the Museum of Warsaw, which reopened Friday after four years of renovation and redesign. He `recognised that something had to be saved from city hall` as tens of thousands of Poles fought the occupying German Nazis in the ill-fated 1944 uprising. It was one of the war`s bloodiest episodes, taking the lives of some 200,000 Warsaw residents.
