Maritime Museum

The National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk is a major center of Polish maritime history. Its main site occupies a complex of five historic granaries on Ołowianka Island. There you can explore extensive permanent exhibitions as well as rotating special exhibitions on maritime culture. The offerings are rounded out by several branches, including the museum ships Dar Pomorza and Sołdek. The Motława ferry, which runs from the granaries across the river to the neighboring Maritime Culture Center, makes for a memorable ride. Each year, the varied displays draw more than 400,000 visitors with an interest in the region's maritime traditions.
