    Small but very interesting exhibition, telling the story of the city and port on the south coast of Baltic Sea.

    Many pictures... too many... too small in my humble opinion (so less objects). And so much to read - I like to read books not museum's walls. What a shame :-/

    Small museum, but with interesting exhibitions. You can learn about the Gdynia’s history and the relation that the city has with the sea 🌊. The shop is also nice with some nice gifts to buy.

    (Translated by Google) I am surprised that as a man who completely dislikes visiting museums, I did not want to leave the "City of Gdynia". A very interesting permanent and variable exhibition. Some interactive exhibitions and interesting stories about Gdynia that few people knew about. 3 levels to explore, a totally modern facility and tickets at attractive prices. In addition, a souvenir shop with interesting products, books and souvenirs - no plastic toys from China or other junk :) (Original) Jestem zaskoczony, ze jako człowiek który kompletnie nie lubi odwiedzać muzeów, nie chciałem wychodzić z „Miasta Gdyni”. Bardzo interesująca ekspozycja stała oraz zmienne. Trochę interaktywnych wystaw oraz ciekawe historie o Gdyni, o których niewiele osób wiedziało. 3 poziomy do zwiedzania, totalnie nowoczesny obiekt oraz bilety w atrakcyjnych cenach. Do tego sklepik z pamiątkami, w którym są ciekawe produkty, książki i pamiątki - bez plastikowych zabawek z Chin czy innych gratów :)

  • 4/5 Wieslawa B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's just worth being here. (Original) Po prostu warto tu być.

  • 4/5 Kacper N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place, but a bit monotonous, despite the thematic change between the floors. (Original) Miejsce piękne, jednak nieco monotonne, pomimo zmiany tematycznej między piętrami.

  • 5/5 Darek D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fantastic place. Everything beautifully presented. While in Gdynia, you can't help but see it. (Original) Fantastyczne miejsce . Wszystko pięknie przedstawione. Będąc w Gdyni nie można tego nie zobaczyć.

  • 4/5 UwU g. 3 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 milonga p. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the most boring museums I've been to. Chaos at the exhibitions, no sightseeing directions. In addition, I have the impression that some exhibitions were added as if by force, due to the lack of lacquer, such as the one with the example of a mixed marriage (Kashubia with a non-Kashubian), based on the example of the relics of the Gdynia City Museum restorer's relics - interesting, but not. Plus a shop with very nice books! (Original) Jedno z najnudniejszych muzeów, w jakich byłam. Na wystawach chaos, nie ma kierunków zwiedzania. Dodatkowo mam wrażenie, że niektóre ekspozycje dodano jakby na siłę, z braku laku, jak choćby ta z przykładem małżeństwa mieszanego (Kaszub z nie-kaszubką) na przykładzie rodziny konserwatorki zabytków Muzeum Miasta Gdyni - niby ciekawe, a jednak nie. Plus za sklepik, gdzie są bardzo fajne książki!

    (Translated by Google) 100 too (Original) 100 pun

  • 1/5 nadia m. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) PATHETIC!!!!!! first, the museum is open only until 6 p.m. and second, after 5 p.m., there is no need to enter! because the ticket office is closed from 5.00 p.m. but unfortunately the museum did not attempt to inform you about it, even on the door of the building! Embarrassment !!! (Original) ŻAŁOSNE!!!!!! po pierwsze muzeum otwarte tylko do godziny 18 a po drugie po godzinie 17.01 nie ma co liczyć na wejście! ponieważ kasa jest zamknięta od 17.00 ale niestety muzeum nie pokusiło się na poinformowanie o tym gdzie kolwiek nawet na drzwiach budynku! ŻENADA!!!

  • 5/5 Jakub M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A beautifully renovated museum, right next to the port, promenade and other attractions. The main exhibition is very interesting, interactive and even someone not too fascinated by history will find something for it. Lots of photos and souvenirs of Gdynia inhabitants. The temporary exhibition "Gdynia-TelAviv" perfectly complements that of POLINA, especially for modernist architecture. (Original) Pięknie wyremontowane muzeum, tuż koło portu, deptaka i innych atrakcji. Wystawa główna jest bardzo ciekawa, interaktywna i nawet ktoś niezbyt zafascynowany historią coś dla się je znajdzie. Dużo fotografii i pamiątek mieszkańców Gdynii. Czasowa wystawa "Gdynia-TelAviv świetnie dopełnia tą z POLINA, warto zwłaszcza dla modernistycznej architektury.

  • 5/5 Tomasz S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A nice attraction, the wheel made a few turns, stopped at the top and you can see the surroundings (Original) Fajna atrakcja, koło zrobiło kilka obrotów, będąc na szczycie zatrzymało się i można obejrzeć okolicę

  • 4/5 C 4 months ago on Google
    It was a small exhibition for 1 hour, it does offer a condensed version of Gydnia's history.

  • 5/5 Grzegorz G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Ferris wheel, classic amusement park, with beautiful views of Gdynia. (Original) Diabelski młyn, klasyka wesołego miasteczka, z pięknymi widokami na Gdynię.

  • 2/5 Jeżyk 8. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There is probably an old wheel in the photos. The one that is now much smaller. I wanted a viewing wheel and this is usually a mill wheel. (Original) Na zdjęciach jest chyba jakieś stare koło. To które jest obecnie jest dużo mniejsze. Chciałam koło widokowe a to jest zwykle koło mlyńskie.

  • 5/5 Majster E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful sea views (Original) Piękne widoki na morze

  • 5/5 Szymon O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A great experience. You couldn't see that much, although you still managed to see part of Gdynia and the sea from a greater height :) (Original) Super przeżycie. Nie było widać aż tak dużo, choć i tak udało się zobaczyć część Gdynii i morza z większej wysokości :)

    Week laid out and very helpful staff

  • 4/5 Dave S. 4 years ago on Google
    A very good, extremely modern museum near the beach. A very well researched history of the growth explosion from village to town. Not too big so can study fully in an hour.

  • 4/5 Hayley C. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good museum, very informative and interesting. Randomly there was an art exhibition on the first floor, history of Gdynia 2/3rd floors. It was free on the day I went but would have happily paid the entrance fee. Unfortunately I was a little rushed for time but an hour or so allowed me to take in enough. Ideally 2 hours I’d estimate.

  • 5/5 Szymon G. 5 years ago on Google
    History of Gdynia is very short in comparison with other Polish cities because Gdynia was founded during the interwar period. This museum is the best place to explore this fascinating history which is really interesting and totally different from other cities in Poland. If you visit Gdynia to see local modernistic architecture, it's recommended to previously come to the museum and get some knowledge about it.

  • 4/5 Juriy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't expect anything crazy, but the history of the city is presented pretty good here

  • 5/5 Chris L. 2 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) I had the pleasure of visiting this place before the virus. Remarkable architecture combined with interesting exhibitions is a great entertainment for both older and younger, I recommend it as a destination for a family trip. (Original) Miałem przyjemność zwiedzić to miejsce jeszcze przed wirusem. Niezwykła architektura w połączeniu z ciekawymi ekspozycjami stanowi świetną rozrywkę zarówno dla starszych jak i młodszych, polecam jako kierunek rodzinnej wycieczki.

  • 5/5 Jerzy D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Amazing place. Modern architecture is a great packaging for Gdynia's non-standard history. Inside, an interesting and organized exhibition. In fact, it gives a compendium of knowledge about the history of the city to any average level visitor. There will also be something for the discerning. Temporary exhibitions are also interesting. (Original) Niesamowite miejsce. Nowoczesna architektura stanowi świetne opakowanie dla niestandardowej historii Gdyni. Wewnątrz ciekawie pomyślana i zorganizowana ekspozycja. W zasadzie daje kompendium wiedzy na temat historii miasta każdemu średnio wtajemniczonemu odwiedzającemu. Dla wnikliwych też się coś znajdzie. Ciekawe są również wystawy czasowe.

  • 5/5 Justyna N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting museum where you need to spend 2-3 hours to see everything worth seeing. It is also worth mentioning the friendly service. The place is probably not for children, they could get a bit boring (Original) Ciekawe muzeum, na które trzeba poświęcić ok. 2-3 godziny żeby zobaczyć wszystko co warte obejrzenia. Warto też wspomnieć o przyjaznej obsłudze. Miejsce raczej nie dla dzieci, mogłyby się trochę wynudzić

  • 5/5 Anna W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The history of the city is presented in a very interesting way. I was also lucky to see Janusz Kaniewski's exhibition in the same museum. I highly recommend. (Original) Bardzo ciekawie przedstawiona historia miasta. Miałam szczęście trafić również na wystawę Janusza Kaniewskiego w tym samym muzeum. Bardzo polecam.

  • 5/5 Jakub R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice both permanent and temporary exhibition Tel Aviv - Gdynia (Original) Bardzo fajne zarówno wystawa stała jak i czasowa Tel Aviv - Gdynia

  • 5/5 Luís E. 3 years ago on Google
    Very interesting to know the city history in an intelligent way.

  • 5/5 Kasia N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great museum, despite the relatively small number of exhibits, I felt 100% immersed in the history of the city. A well-prepared narration of the main exhibition, a clearly defined sightseeing path. Well-stocked museum shop with a large selection of books (also for children). In addition, we hit the day of free admission, so it's full of happiness; D (Original) Świetne muzeum, mimo stosunkowo niewielkiej liczby eksponatów czułam się w 100% zanurzona w historię miasta. Dobrze przygotowana narracja głownej wystawy, jasno wytyczona ścieżka zwiedzania. Świetnie zaopatrzony sklepik muzealny z dużym wyborem książek (także dla dzieci). Trafiliśmy w dodatku na dzień wolnego wstępu, więc już pełnia szczęścia ;D

    (Translated by Google) Good Place - with capital D and M (Original) Dobre Miejsce - przez wielkie D i M

  • 4/5 Katarzyna K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The exhibition was interesting. It took us 1.5 hours only on one floor. It is not big but there is sooooo much reading, a few videos. If someone counts that maybe he will sit down for a while, giving his legs a rest from constant standing, unfortunately there is nothing to count on. (Original) Wystawa stała ciekawa. 1,5 godziny zajęła nam część tylko na jednym piętrze. Niby duża nie jest ale jest baaardzo dużo czytania, kilka filmików. Jak ktoś liczy że może gdzieś sobie na chwilkę usiądzie dając odpoczynek nogom od ciągłego stania niestety nie ma na co liczyć.

  • 4/5 Tomek B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very interesting architecture that draws attention. Inside, there is a permanent exhibition and temporary exhibitions related to the main topic: the history of Gdynia. The permanent exhibition is enriched by a large amount of multimedia. It is worth seeing and finding out that the birth of this city was not an easy and simple process. Although it must be admitted that it is surprisingly fast. (Original) Bardzo ciekawa architektura, która zwraca uwagę. Wewnątrz ekspozycja stała i wystawy czasowe związane z tematem przewodnim: historia Gdyni. Wystawę stałą wzbogaca duża ilość multimediów. Warto zobaczyć i przekonać się, że narodziny tego miasta to nie był proces łatwy i prosty. Choć przyznać trzeba, że zaskakująco szybki.

  • 5/5 Dorota D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Museum of the City of Gdynia is a must see. A great work of Polish thought. The idea was realized, which is beautifully presented in the Museum. Keep it up! (Original) Muzeum Miasta Gdyni trzeba koniecznie zobaczyć. Wielkie dzieło mysli polskiej. Zamysł zrealizowany, co w Muzeum jest pięknie zaprezentowane. Tak trzymać!

  • 1/5 Popek M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I do not recommend the museum. Despite the advice of the lady at the counter that I cannot wear the mouth and nose protection. I was not allowed in. The lady said that they had their own internal regulations and she did not care about the Ministry's guidelines. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE MUSEUM !! (Original) Nie polecam Muzeum. Mimo uprzedzenia pani w kasie o tym, że nie moge nosić osłony ust i nosa. Nie wpuszczono mnie do środka. Pani powiedziała że mają swój wewnętrzny regulamin a wytyczne Ministerstwa jej nie obchodzą. NIE POLECAM MUZEUM !!

  • 5/5 Paulina J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum is interested in the history of the city. The exhibitions are divided thematically Worth seeing! (Original) Muzeum ciekawi historią miasta. Wystawy są podzielone tematycznie Warto zobaczyć!
