    A small Museum that's located very close to the beach. While I enjoyed reading some of the history of Sopot, I wish it could be more interactive and tourist friendly. There are big chunks of texts that I find rather difficult to read without breaking down into smaller sections.

    (Translated by Google) An incredibly atmospheric place where the present mixes with history. Being in Sopot you have to look there. (Original) Niesamowicie klimatyczne miejsce, gdzie teraźniejszości miesza się z historią. Będąc w Sopocie trzeba tam koniecznie zajrzeć.

    If you are interested in 'micro history' then you may find this museum about one wealthy family interesting. They lived in the villa which is now the museum. It's quirky but we enjoyed it and were intrigued by it.

    A place to go to improve one's knowledge on how Poland was in this city during the war 1939 onwards. All is very insightful to how and what happened there.

    Home of merchant family. Good insight on the growth of Sopot in the 20th century. Lovely grounds, great to relax. Note that the main exhibition only has Polish explanations. Free entrance on Sundays

    (Translated by Google) The museum is an exaggerated word, it is rather a modest exhibition of part of the history of Sopot. Which focuses mainly on the interwar and war years of World War II. There are maps, there are photos, there are even German orders from the war. Is given to a lot of that was the center of Sopot, curative, sport and recreation. I think that the materials would have enough to make the whole villa an exhibition. I recommend it because the service welcomed us pleasantly. (Original) Muzeum to slowo na wyrost powiedziane, raczej to skromna wystawa części historii Sopotu. Która skupia się głównie na latach międzywojennych oraz wojennych II wojny światowej. Są mapy, są zdjęcia, nawet są ordery niemieckie z czasów wojny. Mnóstwo poświęca się temu, że Sopot był ośrodkiem kuracyjnym, sportowym i rekreacyjnym. Uważam, że materiałów spokojnie by starczyło aby całą willa była wystawą. Polecam, bo obsługa miło nas przyjęła.

    (Translated by Google) It is worth to see the interior of the villa. Her interesting story is shown to the audience with the help of films. A temporary exhibition on the first floor. After visiting this museum I visited this beautiful city much more carefully. (Original) Warto zobaczyć wnętrza willi. Jej ciekawa historia pokazywana jest widzom przy pomocy filmów. Na piętrze wystawa czasowa. Po wizycie w tym muzeum dużo uważniej zwiedzałam to piękne miasto.

    A historic and interesting villa that tells the story of the city of Sopot. On the entrance floor an impressive display of furniture and objects and an explanatory film, on the second floor a variety of explanations about the history of the city and also some historical items, you can rest afterwards in the beautiful garden of the museum. highly recommend

    Nice small villa-museum next to the beach. Has authentic furniture and old Sopot photo gallery. A lot of the written material unfortunately was only in Polish.

  • 1/5 Mar M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Someone who translated the phrase "we are opposite" - visible in one of the pictures - does not know English at all! "We are vis-a-vis" makes no sense. (Original) Ktos, kto przetlumaczyl wyrazenie "jestesmy naprzeciwko" - widoczne na jednym ze zdjec - zupelnie nie zna jezyka angielskiego! "We are vis-a-vis" nie ma zadnego sensu.

    We didn't go inside the museum, but the area around it is free to explore. There is a small solt water tower where you can sit down and absorb some good vibes.

    Between a wonderful nature there is a villa. You go in and you're welcomed by nice and friendly staff where you can buy a ticket for a good price. I think on sunday there is no entry-fee. Then you see authentic rooms of the time before. Just a wonderful area with toilets, a very fair price and history for everyone.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing place to get familiar with the history of Sopot, and I highly recommend to participate on their free tours, though they are in Polish.

  • 5/5 Lorenzo B. 5 months ago on Google
    Despite being a Small Museum with only a few rooms and two floors, it's full of interactive games and curiosity about the city of Sopot ! The Museum told a lot of interesting things about how the life and what Sopot looked like 1 century ago. Also, the Museum staff is friendly and the ticket is only 1zloty for students so it's nice to see such a thing ! Alternatively, it cost 15zloty but you won't regret a visit to this cute historical villa ! ❤️

  • 5/5 Alex W. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely and charming volunteers where very friendly. A lovely little film about the family who lived there and how valued the staff who worked for them in the luggage factory they owned. Great architecture and lots of wood features as well as furniture in the house. Would definitely recommend. Felt like I had gone back in time to the retro years

  • 5/5 Włodzimierz M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was at the museum for the first time. I am a guest of this museum and cooperated with its employees: Mr. Tomasz about Mr. Iwona. I felt very familiar and family. (Original) Bylem w muzeum pierwszy raz. Jestem gosciem tego muzeum o współpracowalem z jego pracownikami: p Tomaszem o p. Iwoną. Czulem sie bardzo swojsko i rodzinnie.

  • 4/5 Michał D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is definitely worth visiting, but for the "Sopot Museum" it is a bit unsatisfied. It is more of a museum of the history of the Claaszen family who lived in the house where the museum is located. Temporary exhibitions at the top. There is no place in Sopot where one could comprehensively learn about the history of the city and the surrounding area. (Original) Miejsce na pewno warte odwiedzenia, ale jak na "Muzeum Sopotu" pozostawia lekki niedosyt. Jest to bardziej muzeum historii rodziny Claaszenów, która zamieszkiwała dom, w którym znajduje się muzeum. Na górze wystawy czasowe. Brakuje w Sopocie miejsca, gdzie można byłoby poznać kompleksowo historię miasta i okolic.

  • 5/5 Justyna W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is worth going inside, watching a movie about the first owners / visionaries of the building and participating in holiday offers of this place. I recommend a cool place for a short breath from other attractions (Original) Warto wejść do środka, zobaczyć film o pierwszych właścicielach /wizjonerach budynku i uczestniczyć w wakacyjnych propozycjach tego miejsca. Polecam fajne miejsce na krótki oddech od innych atrakcji

  • 5/5 Andrzej W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small museum showing a small piece of the history of Sopot, the villa itself from the beginning of the 20th century, in which the museum is located, and the local Freemasonry. Perfect for 25-40 minutes of sightseeing. Tickets for PLN 10 (concessions for PLN 5), free admission on Sundays. (Original) Niewielkie muzeum przedstawiające mały wycinek historii Sopotu, samej willi z początku XX wieku, w której owo muzeum się znajduje oraz lokalnego wolnomularstwa. Idealne na 25-40 minut zwiedzania. Bilety za 10 zł (ulgowe za 5 zł), w niedziele wstęp wolny.

  • 4/5 Justyna P. 3 years ago on Google
    Small and interesting museum about the owner's family and turbulent times during which they lived in Sopot. I would undoubtedly give it five stars, but half of the museum was closed during our visit due to the change of thz exhibition. The price (although discounted) did not justify the visit of barely three small rooms.
