Muzeum Bursztynu. Oddział Muzeum Gdańska

So good! Definately get the audio guide - really cool how they surround thier officials with the values of the city. And the temporary exhibits show phenominal talent and passion

A unique museum! It's all dedicated to amber, its history, its many uses, and all the art made from it. What's really cool is that the museum itself is located in a historic building, an old flour mill, which has its own fascinating story. ​It's not just about looking at exhibits, either, it's a very interactive experience. This makes it fantastic for kids, as it lets them explore and learn in a really fun way. Honestly, even the adults in our group learned a thing or two! ​One last tip: don't skip the museum shop. They have a huge selection of beautiful jewelry at surprisingly reasonable prices.

Based in an old water mill, it takes you on a journey, explaining how amber is formed (more than 2 million years), showing numerous examples of it in it's natural state and after, being made into fascinating pieces of jewellery and other items, guitar, chess boards etc. A well stocked shop of jewellery to visit after the museum. Apparently the museum has a capacity of just over 100 at a time, so probably best getting tickets online at busy periods to make sure.

Our recent visit to the Amber Museum in Gdańsk was a fantastic experience for the whole family. The museum is modern and stylish, with a wonderful ambience that makes it a pleasure to explore. Spread across three floors, each section is beautifully laid out and thoughtfully curated to highlight the history, science, and artistry of amber. The displays are truly captivating – from large, natural amber nuggets to fascinating specimens with ancient insects trapped inside. There is also a fascinating exhibition that shows how amber was formed over millions of years – a great educational touch that adds depth to the experience. Throughout the museum, you’ll find many items crafted from amber, as well as bespoke jewellery on display – all beautifully sculpted and captivating, showcasing an impressive level of craftsmanship. It’s a testament to both the natural beauty of amber and the incredible skill of the artisans who work with it. It’s also the perfect place to cool down and escape the summer heat, with comfortable, air-conditioned spaces and a calm atmosphere. Accessibility is clearly a priority, as the venue is equipped with a lift for those less mobile. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and the museum is easy to access in terms of location. Entry prices are very reasonable for the quality of the experience. We finished our visit in the museum shop, which offers a wide range of interesting and beautifully designed amber jewellery – a perfect way to round off the trip. Highly recommended for families, history lovers, or anyone looking to learn more about this incredible natural treasure.

This is one of the most unique museums in Gdańsk and all of Poland given the importance of the extraction, manufacture and trade of amber in the region. I would not miss it, and I would make sure to allocate at least an hour and a half to visit its interesting expositions on the history and present of amber. My favourite one is without a doubt the exhibition of inclusions containing insects and other animals. Great experience!

It is one of the Museum of Gdansk branches. This new museum, although housed in the old building, is ultra modern and nearly fully accessible, with comfortable lift to every floor. There are small histrical rooms with a few steps, but they house side exhibitions, so even if you miss them, you will still see the core part of the museum. It is must see for anyone visiting Gdansk, as it combines art, history of the Baltic shore, and natural history, presented in a captivating way. Allow at least 2-3 hours to visit. Be careful, the museum shop at the end of the route can get you into overdraft, but it is worth to buy some amber souvenir, which you can be absolutely sure is original. 😀 Entry tickets are reasonably priced, and there are free tickets for disabled visitors and their carers, so you don't have to wait for Monday, which is free entry day.

A magnificent museum built in an old mill in Gdansk- the Amber Museum. The exhibition spread over several floors, provides an overview of the origin of amber, how it is collected, how it is processed and what is made of it. There is also a small souvenir shop at the museum.
