Shipwreck Conservation Centre, Maritime museum and conservation center in Tczew, Poland.
The Shipwreck Conservation Centre is a maritime museum and conservation facility in Tczew that specializes in restoring and displaying shipwrecks and maritime objects. The facility features specialized workshops and exhibition areas where visitors can observe the ongoing work.
The center was founded in 2016 through collaboration between Polish institutions and international partners. This partnership made it possible to establish modern conservation techniques and preserve historical vessels.
The center displays historical boats and watercraft from different regions of Europe and Africa. Visitors can observe how traditional craftsmanship techniques are applied during the restoration of these vessels.
The centre is wheelchair-accessible, and guided tours of the conservation workshop can be booked as part of its educational programme. Tours for visitors with impaired vision are also offered, with selected exhibits explored by touch. Exhibits are labelled in Polish and English, and interactive panels and a mobile app give further details on the recovered objects.
Visitors can watch restoration work from a mezzanine level that overlooks the workshop areas directly. Special tours also allow visitors with visual impairments to tactilely explore the displays.
