Enigma Cipher Centre

Discover what is hidden: the story of the Polish mathematicians who broke the cipher of the German Enigma machine and the story of the secrecy of information over the centuries.

The Enigma Cipher Centre tells the true story of the breaking of the Enigma code, which started in Poznań, and it emphasizes the work of students Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki, who contributed to this process. In an approachable way, the Centre’s multimedia exhibition familiarises the visitors with the art of ciphering and coding, describing how the discoveries of genius Polish mathematicians influenced the history of World War II and the advance of the digital era. 


The tour features an audio guide (available in 4 language versions). The Enigma Cipher Centre is both a mystery and an adventure! Here, you can try your hand at solving riddles of the past and ciphering messages.
