On September 7, 2013, the History Zone was opened in the city of Swidnik. The permanent exhibition, titled"Świdnik - city of freedom and dreams" is based on five pillars, building the identity of the Świdnica community. These are: aviation traditions, the freedom of the WSK crew in July 1980 and the later history of NSZZ "Solidarność", the production of WSK motorcycles, the success of athletes, as well as socio-cultural life.

This museum has a collection of about 30 vehicles, including trucks, buses and security services. 

This is one of the largest Polish car collections with several hundred exhibits. The collection covers a wide range of automotive history topics - from pre-war vehicles, through all possible models, variants and occasional versions of Polish cars and motorcycles, to modern supercars.
In 2024, the museum will be opened to visitors at a new place
