Former Camp Grounds

The State Museum at Majdanek was established on a part of the former grounds of the German Nazi concentration camp in Lublin. 70 various elements of the camp infrastructure erected by the Germans in the years 1941-1944 have been preserved within this area. They include the prisoner barracks, camp workshops and warehouses, barracks used as quarters by the SS garrison, bathhouse barracks, gas chambers, and crematoria. The former camp grounds together with the preserved buildings are the central part of visiting the museum. Some of the structures are open and available to the visitors, who can see their interiors and exhibitions presented inside.
