Maritime Culture Centre, Maritime museum near Motława River, Gdańsk, Poland.
The Maritime Culture Centre is a museum by the Motława River in Gdańsk with four floors. Three levels contain exhibitions about ships, ports, and how maritime technology developed over time.
The museum was created as part of the National Maritime Museum and has preserved Poland's connection to the sea since its beginning. The permanent exhibitions opened in 2012.
The center displays traditional watercraft from many parts of the world, such as Venetian gondolas and Asian sampans. These boats show how different communities developed their own ways of working and traveling on water.
The building is easy to access with two entrances, elevators throughout, and wide corridors. Visitors with mobility needs will find adapted facilities available.
Visitors can participate in interactive simulations where they operate port cargo systems or navigate submarines through water. These hands-on experiences reveal how demanding maritime work truly is.
