The National Museum in Warsaw building was designed by Tadeusz Tolwiński. The article names no client. The text says the building was developed between 1927 and 1938 and inaugurated on June 18, 1938. The infobox's May 20, 1862 refers to the museum's founding, not the building.

The article calls the style modernistic and gives no materials or dimensions.

The 1939 invasion damaged the building, and the Gestapo looted the collection. Many works were recovered after the war, but over 5,000 artifacts remain missing. A renovation in 2011 and 2012 added LED lighting, and the galleries were rearranged in 2012. It houses an art museum, with collection sizes given as both 780,000 and 830,000 items. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
