The very entrance of the museum stands out with historic symbolism.
The Museum of the History of Polish Jews in the Polish capital of Warsaw is one of the most modern and most unusual buildings in the entire city. The eye-catching glass façade is interrupted by an asymmetrical gap that symbolizes the path of the Jewish people through the sea. Another part of the façade depicts the word "Polin" in Latin and Hebrew script. This is the shortened name of the museum.
To ensure the safety of visitors in a gathering space of this size in case of fire, the museum has been equipped with a special kind lifesaver — an intelligent SHEV solution by D+H. Several 230 V control panels of the RZN Series and multiple operation units of the RT Series have been used here. Thanks to intelligent integration and the interaction of these product series in one SHEV system solution, visitors are provided a space with optimal protection, letting them safely enjoy the visit to the museum with peace of mind.
