The new permanent exhibition "Poles in KL Auschwitz. Residents of the Oświęcim area during World War II" is being created on two floors of block 15 at the former Auschwitz I site. The ongoing work pertains to preserving the historic structure and construction activities, among other things. The groundwork for the initial exhibition elements is currently underway. The exhibition should be completed by the middle of next year.

The main subjects discussed during the meeting of the Council of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on 4 June 2024 were the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation and the development of online tours.
