You're standing at the Copernicus Science Centre, or Centrum Nauki Kopernik in Polish. It sits right on the bank of the Vistula, in the very heart of Warsaw. Here's a fun detail: beneath your feet, the Wisłostrada, the riverside expressway, runs through a tunnel. The whole centre was built on top of it.
