Museum

European Solidarity Centre

Stocznia Gdańska, Gdańsk

Overview

Opened in 2014, this modern museum honours Poland's 1980s Solidarity (Solidarność) movement. Sparked by the Gdańsk shipyard strikes led by Lech Wałęsa, Solidarity helped trigger the collapse of communism across Eastern Europe. The rust-clad exterior evokes a ship's hull, while inside, interactive exhibits, life-size reconstructions, and documentary films bring the freedom struggle to life.
