Museum of the Polish Post in Gdańsk, Postal history museum in Gdansk, Poland
The Museum of the Polish Post occupies a reconstructed building from 1844, featuring exhibits about postal services and telecommunications in the Free City of Danzig.
On September 1, 1939, Polish postal workers defended this building against German forces for 14 hours, marking one of the first battles of World War II.
