Meet in Gdańsk – one of the oldest Baltic cities!<br />
Looking back to thousand-year-old traditions of European culture and<br />
maritime history, ships from all over Europe are greeted by the historical<br />
port of Gdańsk which benefits from its seaside location. Today Gdańsk<br />
is Poland’s maritime capital with a beautifully restored Old Town and<br />
a magnificent atmosphere that beckons you to rest and relax.<br />
Dive into the maritime history!<br />
If you are bored of sunbathing during your holidays, if you are excited about<br />
visiting national places of culture, step into maritime history at the Polish<br />
Maritime Museum. Come and visit a museum facility at the very heart of<br />
the old Harbour of Gdańsk, consisting of characteristic old port structures,<br />
such as the Crane, the granaries in the isle of Ołowianka, and a museum ship<br />
Sołdek. There are also hundreds of exhibits from underwater archeological<br />
exploration, models of vessels, navigation instruments, fragments of ancient<br />
ships, works of marine art that cannot be missed!<br />
Feel welcome! The opening of the new Museum’s branch is approaching...<br />
In the second half of the year, the Museum will open the Maritime Culture<br />
Centre. It is the first totally new museum project erected in Gdańsk, which is<br />
granted by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway under the European Economic<br />
Area Financial Mechanism (EEA FM), and the financing from the Ministry of<br />
Culture and National Heritage. The Project, estimated at over € 12 million, is<br />
the largest single project in the sector of culture not only in Poland, but with<br />
the EEA FM grant of € 8.6 million, in the whole of Europe as well. Modern<br />
exhibitions, multimedia, interactive information tools, original audiovisual<br />
presentations, conservations and underwater archeology workshops – all of<br />
that makes it the genuine 21-st century museum.<br />
Sea it yourself!
