8 Museums in Gdynia That You Shouldn't Miss

October 7, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

A small fishing village until the 20th century, Gdynia was rapidly built into Poland’s largest and busiest sea port after World War I. As a result, it’s mainly a very modern city. The most significant older attraction is the 13th-century St. Michael the Archangel Church. Two museum ships in the harbor, a destroyer and a frigate, are also popular with visitors. Gdynia has a thriving cultural life and in September hosts the annual Polish Film Festival, sometimes called the “Polish Cannes.”

This battle ship is a museum now. For kids it can be fun to go on board but for me pictures are enough.

We spent more than 4 hours there, my daughter wanted to stay longer but we have to go to the next museum. She has great fun and the mom can rest comfortably there as well. You can bring your own snacks but they also have small kiosk where you can drink or eat small snacks. For very small kids can also enjoy, there are something really like normal playground for instance slide. Or some experiments with lego. Some experiments are really educational, like drinking car in normal and drunk mode, so children can learn after alcohol should not drive. Smoking will damage the lung; water is very important for human body....All are very educational. I recommend you must go there with your kids. We went to the science center in Warsaw, they both have something similar. This one is smaller and cheaper. You don’t have to book ticket in advance. It is just 2 mins away from SKM station.

Emigration Museum in Gdynia

The mission of the Emigration Museum in Poland is to recount the fates of millions of both anonymous and famous people - whose names emerge in the context of great achievementsin science, sports, business, and the arts. It is the ambition of this institution to make them known to Poles at home, but it is also to encourage our compatriots living at home and abroad to get to know each other. Through educational and cultural projects, the museum hopes to become a place of encounter and discussion. We feel we fulfill a particular duty in achieving this end at the best possible address - Polska Street No. 1.

Apprehensive about a visit, I think the name Emmigration museum is misleading. A fantastic journey through Polish history, excellent value, amazing exhibits in an amazing building. Well worth a visit.
