Source-derived summary

The Legia Warsaw Museum is a museum and stadium tour dedicated to Legia Warsaw club history in Warsaw in Poland. The museum, located at the Polish Army Stadium (3 Łazienki Street), was opened on 21 April 2006 and is open daily for tours.

History

The stadium includes a museum and fan shop section which are open to the public with a tour starting every hour from 11:00–19:00 M-F and weekends 11:00-17:00 CET, taking the visitor to various parts of the stadium, through the locker rooms, and alongside the pitch, to see the club's Wall of Fame. Legia Warsaw Museum is not limited to football only. The Club includes information on many other sports, e.g. boxing, gymnastics, wrestling, motorcycle speedway or fencing, and in the Museum there are pieces of exhibitions connected to them, such as the gold medal won by the wrestler Andrzej Wroński at the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988.

Location

The museum and tour are situated in the Polish Army Stadium in Warsaw inside the club's home stadium.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Legia Warsaw Museum” is sports museum in Poland. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Legia, Warsaw and Museum, not as a finished interpretation.

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006, 1988—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2006-04-21.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “sports museum in Poland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15709891. VIAF identifies the subject as 10145910048527021086. Authority coordinates are 52.221, 21.041. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 1988.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
