What does a little girl’s shoe have in common with a U-boat? Can you find a cinema only on huge cruise ships? What links the shipyard to a biplane? – join us for a guided tour of the exhibition THE SHIPYARD | PEOPLE. INDUSTRY. CITY.
Certified ECS guides, with their in-depth knowledge, will share the insights into the history of shipbuilding in Gdańsk. You will learn more about this great industrial complex, the city’s history and, above all, the people who built the ships here. You will hear about lesser-known facts, some of which have been overlooked or even considered shameful. It is a fascinating journey through time.
The walks take place as part of the Solidarity and Freedom Days.
