The best museums Pomerania

The building was constructed in the ^17th century by Antoni Van Obberghen in pure Flemish style. The facade decorations were designed by Wilhelm Van Der Meer and Abraham Van Der Block. Decorative elements include the Gdańsk coat of arms and a statue of the Roman goddess Minerva.

The large arsenal was used for its intended purpose until the ^19th century. The building was almost destroyed during the bombing of Gdańsk in 1945. Rebuilt in 1965 in supposed ^17th-century forms, it now houses the Academy of Fine Arts.

Built between 1824-1833 and in 1859, the salt works and the graduation building in Ciechocinek, used to drain the water from the salt works, constitute an admirable architectural ensemble. The buildings are arranged in a horseshoe shape, based on 7,000 wooden panels wedged into the ground over a total length of 1,741.5 meters. During the salt production process, healing particles naturally diffuse into the surrounding area, which is known for its remarkable microclimate, rich in iodine and bromine, allowing for natural inhalation.

Erected in the middle of the city, this skansen takes the form of a small rural village that gives a glimpse of the traditional countryside architecture in the Toruń region in past centuries. There are farms, forges, beehives, water and windmills, as well as objects and utensils of everyday life. In the summer, extras in traditional costume bring the past to life a little more. To add to the immersion, a bastion of the 19th century fortifications and a Prussian arsenal from 1824 guard the entrance.

Recently completely renovated, this house is dedicated to the life and work of the famous astronomer. The museum occupies both buildings, in Gothic style, although it was number 15 that saw the birth of the famous astronomer on February 19th 1473. In one room there is also a model of the city in the 15th century. The modern animations allow to live and relive through many films the life at that time. Between beliefs and myths, we learn a lot about the revolutionary astronomer and his acceptance by society and researchers of the time.

Located on the banks of the River Brda in the Old Town, these grain silos are a symbol of the city and its commercial past. Due to their serious deterioration, renovation work began in 1993, and was finally completed in 2006. Today, they house the History Department, the Graphic Art Department, the Ethnography Department and the Music Department, as well as a fine regional museum dedicated to the city and its history.

In this large enclosure in the middle of a nature park, you can see European bison, which in Pomerania disappeared in the 14th century. In 1976, four bison were brought here from Podlaskie, where they still live in the wild, in order to restore the bison population on the island of Wolin. Since then, all the bison present in Wolin were born here (about a dozen). There are also sick deer, wild boar and eagles that are treated by the reserve staff and then released. Access is by foot only (about 1,300 m).

Nestled within Hel's oldest Gothic church, the museum is housed in a magnificent red-brick structure. Its exhibition traces the evolution of the links between man, fishing and the sea. Visitors explore ancient artifacts, period photographs and illustrations depicting regional history. Outside, a small open-air museum displays a variety of fishing boats. The observation tower offers a breathtaking view of the bay and town.

It was rebuilt between 1567 and 1572 in Renaissance style on a ^12th-century Gothic base. In 1595, the tower was added, followed by a clock. On its southwest façade, you can still see the pręt chełminski, 4.35 m long, the town's unit of measurement from the Middle Ages until the ^19th century. Today, it houses a small regional museum(Muzeum Ziemi Chelminskiej). On display are a jumble of ancient crafts and modern art. The exhibition itself is modest, but the rooms are superb, so the museum is a good pretext.

Nicknamed the "Red Granary", this former medieval residence belonged to the Esken family in the ^mid-15th century. At the end of the 16th century, it was modified and transformed into a Renaissance palace. At the end of the ^19th century, it became a granary, then a reserve for the Prussian army. Today, it houses the history and archaeology department of the Regional Museum. There's an exhibition on life in Toruń from prehistory to the Middle Ages, and a display tracing the various stages of German rule in the ^19th century.

This is one of Toruń's most beautiful houses, where, in the late ^15th century, Filippo Buonacorsi, tutor to the sons of King Casimir Jagiellon, lived. When it was restored in the ^17th century, it lost its original Gothic appearance and became the Baroque edifice with a richly decorated facade featuring floral motifs that we see today. Today, it houses a fine little museum of Far Eastern art, whose collections include Japanese prints and ceramics, Chinese porcelain and paintings.

A gourmet journey through a ^16th-century gingerbread(pierniki) production workshop.

Housed in a castle dating back to the ^16th century, it exhibits both ancient and more recent objects significant to the society and art of this region. Among the exhibits are tin sarcophagi from the Dukes of Pomerania, and Poland's largest collection of works by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, known as Witkacy. Not far from the museum, you'll discover the Mill, now an annex, with its two permanent exhibitions on Pomeranian culture. The White Granary also houses other museum exhibitions.

This place can amuse the curious and interest the passionate, who will find a wealth of references to fishing and the marine environment. The museum is housed in the Town Hall building, Świnoujście's oldest, dating from 1804-1806. It's an interesting educational venue for children and adults alike, featuring live specimens (e.g. piranhas or turtles) and inert ones (fossils, amber), as well as exhibitions on the history of Świnoujście, but also on the history of fishing in general.
