Gdańsk Historical Museum, History museum in Gdańsk, Poland.
The Gdańsk Historical Museum occupies the Main City Hall building and spans multiple floors with exhibitions featuring objects from medieval times through the modern period. The rooms display trade routes, artworks, and everyday items that document the city's life across the centuries.
Founded in 1970, the museum preserves documents and objects spanning from Gdańsk's early trading days through World War II and its aftermath. The collection focuses on the centuries when the city was a major commercial center and later endured significant upheaval.
The Red Room displays Renaissance art and decorative pieces, with a central ceiling painting that captures moments from the city's golden age.
The museum is accessible through entrances on Długa Street in the heart of the Old Town with good pedestrian access from the main square. Visitors should plan several hours to explore all the exhibitions, as collections are distributed across different levels.
The Artus Court section houses one of Europe's largest Renaissance tiled furnaces, built in 1545 and spanning from floor to ceiling. This impressive stove is a rare example of the craftsmanship and prosperity the city enjoyed during its most prosperous years.
