A complete history of Poland's nautical history is represented on several floors and includes old cannons, huge oil paintings, harpoon guns, a hall dedicated to underwater archaeology, shipbuilders' hard hats from the Lenin Shipyard, a few pieces of modern art and an extensive collection of model ships. Information is available in English.
