Dom Morświna w Helu

Dom Morświna is a marine mammal museum in Hel featuring exhibits about harbor porpoises and other Baltic Sea animals. The indoor spaces display life-sized models, skeletal remains, and information panels explaining how these creatures live and behave.

The facility was founded in 2015 and operates as an education and research center under Gdansk University. Since opening, it has focused on studying Baltic Sea marine mammals and the challenges they face.

The museum shows how local people connect with and think about the marine mammals living in the Baltic Sea. Exhibits emphasize the role these animals play in how visitors understand the ocean ecosystem.

The museum sits at the southern end of the Hel Peninsula and is reachable on foot from town or by car. Comfortable walking shoes work best since the path from parking areas to the entrance crosses sandy ground.

The museum houses research projects that document fishing byproducts and ocean pollution as major threats to Baltic porpoises. Visitors can observe how scientists gather data to understand these wild populations.
