About this place
Emigration Museum in Gdynia is a museum devoted to the history of Polish emigration. It opened to the public on 16 May 2015 and is housed in the former Maritime Station, a building that once served as a transit point for thousands of Poles leaving for new homelands. Today it offers a focused visit that works well as a short sightseeing stop.
Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:
- An exhibition covering 200 years of Polish emigrations, from the 19th century to modern days, so you can follow the story across different periods.
- A visit to the former Maritime Station itself, which operated from the 1930s until 1979 as the departure building for emigrants.
- A look at a carefully refurbished historic site: the building was renovated in mid-2014 for PLN 49.3 million before becoming a museum.
If you are planning a visit, it is worth setting aside time for a calm indoor stop and checking the opening hours in advance. This is a good choice for travelers interested in Polish history, migration stories, and places with a strong connection to the city’s past.
