Summary of the Picnic Organized by the Polish Army Museum on the Occasion of the 231st Anniversary of the Kościuszko Insurrection

Together we celebrated the heroism of Tadeusz Kościuszko and his soldiers in a unique way – historical reenactments, drill shows, educational workshops and lectures took us back to the times of the fight for freedom. The event was full of attractions, both for history enthusiasts and lovers of modern military technology.

We could see the M1A1 Abrams tank, the MRAP Cougar armoured vehicle and modern military weapons up close. There was an opportunity to familiarise ourselves with specialist robots used in sapper missions.

Visitors could take part in historical workshops, where they learned about the uniforms and weapons of soldiers over the centuries and tried their hand at old military and strategic games. The 18th century fashion show gathered many observers. It was a good opportunity to get to know the style of those times. The reenactors took us to the world of civilians of that era.

The military shooting range was very popular. Children could try their hand at replica handguns equipped with laser pointers, and adults could feel the real excitement of shooting a 9 mm weapon. In the construction zone, COBI blocks were waiting for the youngest.

The Polish Army Museum created a unique opportunity for everyone to see the most modern military equipment up close and delve into the secrets of military technology. There was also no shortage of refreshments in true soldier style.
