Emigration Museum in Gdynia
Muzeum Emigracji w Gdyni
A museum housed in a 1930s sea terminal, telling the epic story of the millions of Poles who crossed the ocean to start new lives.
The Emigration Museum is housed in the modernist Maritime Passenger Terminal (Dworzec Morski) at the Port of Gdynia, completed in 1933. Many Poles boarded ships bound for America from this very terminal. The exhibits feature reconstructed cabins, a railway station, luggage and personal stories that trace Polish emigration from the 19th century to the present. The displays are highly interactive. Admission is about PLN 25. The museum is closed on Mondays, but some seasons offer free entry on Tuesdays. The upstairs café has views of the giant ships in the harbor.
