Zagan (formerly spelled Sagan), in Poland

Has anyone been to Zagan?  It is now part of Poland.  In World War 2 it was the site of a German Prisoner of War camp, Stalag Luft III.  The camp became well known for a massive escape attempt later referred to as the Great Escape. This was popularized in a movie released in 1963, The Great Escape.

There is a museum there that I would like to visit. There is also a marker showing the route of one of the tunnels (Harry), through which 76 prisoners (out of an attempted 200) left the prison. I would appreciate any information about this location. 

Thanks
