About Muzeum Bursztynu
The Gdańsk Amber Museum occupies the Great Mill, a brick building linked to the city's history. The theme brings together the natural formation of fossilized resin and the craft work that associated amber with Baltic culture and trade.
The exhibition displays items and interpretations about the origin, characteristics, and uses of the material. The visit allows you to distinguish a museum collection from the commercial display cases of jewelry shops, with time to observe inclusions, techniques, and objects from different periods.
Check the schedule and the route at the Great Mill address before going, avoiding following an old address for the museum. The program can be combined with the streets of Gdańsk city center, without requiring travel to the beach. Set aside part of your day specifically for the galleries and the building.
