Historical Zone Free City Of Gdansk
About This Museum
People come here to understand a truly unique chapter in history, when Gdańsk wasn't quite Poland and wasn't quite Germany, but was its own independent city-state. You get completely immersed in the era, walking past recreated shop windows and seeing the actual passports and stamps used by its citizens. It’s a compact space, but it packs a real punch, making this complex political situation feel incredibly human and personal. I left feeling like I finally grasped a piece of European history I never really understood before.
Collection Highlights
The replica of a 1930s street with period shop fronts is fantastic, but the most gripping items are the personal documents—the Free City passports and currency that made this place real for its people.
Visitor Information
It's right there on the main Long Market (Długi Targ), so you can't miss it while exploring the Old Town. Super easy to pop into.
Architecture & Building
It's tucked into one of those beautiful, tall, colorful merchant houses that line the main square, so you're walking into history just by stepping through the door.
