September 2, 2010
 The winner of the architectural competition for the building of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, Poland, is the Studio "Kwadrat", Gdynia, Poland.
The purpose of the competition is to select the architectural concept of the building to house the Museum of the Second World War, together with the concept of landscape development. 240 firms from 33 countries of the world participated in the contest.
The verdict of the Jury, in which Daniel Libeskind was one of the members, says: "In its Design, the innovative, huge-scale project makes use of the unique air of the city and transforms it in a modern manner. The colour and texture proposed in the design smoothly blend with the colours of Gdańsk giving the museum the power to pass the test of the 21st century."
The construction works on the Museum will commence in 2012. A ceremonious opening of the new building is planned for 1 September 2014 – on the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.
