Gdańsk Shipyard in the People's Republic of Poland

This exhibition dives into over 150 years of Gdańsk shipyard history, housed in the historic Hall 42A — a former ship-fitting workshop right on the grounds of the Gdańsk Shipyard. It's the first comprehensive look at state-run shipbuilding in Poland, tracing the industry from its origins through the communist era and the pivotal strikes of 1980. Walking through the actual spaces where history happened gives it a weight you won't find in a typical museum.
