Beautiful exhibitions, very reasonable prices in the souvenir shop!Posted on GoogleCappuccino P2 November 2026A truly atmospheric place on the map of Gdańsk. Worth a visit, with interesting exhibits, you can truly have a wonderful and enjoyable time. The museum also has a large shop, so everyone will find something for themselves. Be sure to end your visit at the atmospheric café with delicious coffee and friendly service.

The amber museum is worth visiting; it's very interesting, with many wonderful specimens on display. The only drawback is the poor lighting near the exhibits, which makes it difficult to convey historical knowledge about amber.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePaulina H31 October 2026Great museum, definitely worth a visit, very large, pleasant environment, many exhibits
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRaluca F30 October 2026It was interesting because of the building and the lighting. Not top as everyone else says, but good value for the money.Posted on GoogleAndy M30 October 2026Inside is not what you expect from the outside.Posted on GoogleAleksander R30 October 2026Posted on GoogleWeiyi X28 October 2026I only visited the museum shop, but it was wonderful. They have a huge selection of beautiful amber pieces, and it was a pleasure to browse.Posted on GoogleKaarl-Heinz N27 October 2026Posted on GoogleMaria27 October 2026Posted on GoogleAnnagawliczek27 October 2026Posted on GoogleDorota P26 October 2026Posted on GoogleMartina V25 October 2026Posted on GoogleG M25 October 2026Tolles Museum mit sehr interessanten Ausstellungsstücken.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTom S24 October 2026A very interesting museum full of amber and history. I recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRobi24 October 2026An exceptionally interesting location in the Great Mill, although the previous location in the Prison Tower was steeped in history. This is a fascinating museum where you can learn about the history of amber and see its various varieties. Numerous exhibits are on display, from ancient to contemporary pieces. You can admire beautiful jewelry, decorative elements, sculptures, interior furnishings, and many other unusual amber items. There's also an interesting corner where you can ask about the Amber Room. On the ground floor, you'll find the company shop with a wide and interesting selection of amber products. Visitors can also use lockers in the cloakroom, which is very convenient. The museum, with its modern twist, is definitely worth a visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleGosia G24 October 2026A very interesting place – a huge exhibition. It's just a bit difficult to navigate the glossy black floors, and the intense light reflections might be a bit distracting for some. But I highly recommend it, and it's worth a visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDorota K24 October 2026Posted on GoogleRobert K23 October 2026Beautiful exhibition of amber jewelry and art objects, from the Stone Age to modern times.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKasia K23 October 2026Posted on GoogleHenrike K22 October 2026If you want to see and experience amber in this museum, then you've come to the right place. I think everyone, young and old, will find something to enjoy here. Many wonderful things made from amber are on display, and at the end of the exhibition, you can even purchase many amber items in the shop, and I think the prices are very reasonable.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleLeszek J22 October 2026A very interesting exhibition. The entire history of amber's origins is described. I highly recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTord22 October 2026Quite ok. Interesting. But it's a bit much if you're not very interested. But nice since amber is big here
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleLeni21 October 2026We went on a Wednesday, so the tickets weren't free. An adult ticket costs 37 PLN, which is quite expensive. It was a bit dark inside the museum, but as I understand it, that's necessary to draw attention to the amber. Still, it felt just a bit too dark to me. I would have liked at least some backlighting for the exhibits themselves. My favorite part was the third floor, which features amber items and jewelry. If you don't read the descriptions and history of every single stone carefully, you can finish the whole tour in just 30 minutes, as the museum is quite small. If you're interested in amber, I recommend it; if not, you might want to think twice about visiting, as it could seem a bit monotonous. After all, amber is just amber.Posted on GoogleRobert R20 October 2026Posted on GoogleGidi B20 October 2026I was actually pleasantly surprised. The kids really enjoyed it and it was very interesting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarlène M19 October 2026We went on a Monday (the day admission is free). You'll learn everything about amber! Everything is very well explained (in English too). On the top floor, there's a magnificent exhibition of various amber objects. In the shop, you'll find an impressive number of jewelry and other items such as lamps, chess sets, and more. You can easily spend two hours there.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJakub S19 October 2026The entrance fee is 37 złoty. Despite appearances, there aren't many exhibits inside, and certainly not enough to justify a ticket price of 37 złoty. I definitely don't recommend it unless you're an amber fanatic.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDamian K18 October 2026Posted on GoogleBożena M18 October 2026Impressive specimens of amber nuggets, beautiful jewelry and household items, and interesting stories connected with our national treasures. A bit too dark for my liking ;) The display cases are so clear you could almost tap your forehead. There's a café and a jewelry and souvenir shop on site.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgata G17 October 2026Posted on GoogleDorissm16 October 2026A super modern place, worth visiting, remember that on Mondays you can enter for free
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleCc15 October 2026You can see all kinds of raw amber and amber products, as well as amber containing various insects.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleBarbara B15 October 2026Posted on GoogleMulder G14 October 2026It was very interesting. It's incredibly nice that the visit is free on Monday afternoons.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleUwe C14 October 2026Amazing what they have to offer. A bit pricey for entry, but good.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMaciej M14 October 2026Posted on GoogleXpep G13 October 2026This is a large, beautiful, and scientific museum where you can learn a lot. The amber is incredibly beautiful and amazing. However, there's not much to sit down and relax in; it's a bit of a downer.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRomuald C12 October 2026Anyone who has been there once will definitely return... We had previously been to the amber museum in Kołobrzeg, which made a huge impression on us, and in Gdańsk it blew us away... We highly recommend it...
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleVictoria12 October 2026•Eng The amber exhibition itself is wonderful. It's beautifully designed, with lovely lighting on the exhibits, clear descriptions and a few interactive elements, and I learned a lot of interesting facts about amber. As someone who loves stones and appreciates beautiful things, I really enjoyed it, and no one minded me taking photos and video. A couple of things to be aware of. First, the entrance is not obvious at all. When the doors are closed there are no signs showing that the museum is open or where to go in, so it is easy to walk right past it. Second, the service can be hit or miss. On one visit I found it a bit off: when I asked a simple question about the temporary exhibition the answer felt slightly condescending, and in the gift shop a guard kept hurrying me along as they were closing. On another day the staff were perfectly fine, though not especially knowledgeable about what they sell. Prices in the jewelery shop also felt a little high. They come with certificates, but for fairly ordinary amber it still seemed like a lot. None of that outweighs the exhibition. A lot of people think museums are boring, but this one really isn't. Highly recommended, especially if you like beautiful things. •PL The amber exhibition itself is wonderful.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZhongxiang L11 October 2026I just brought above 1000 pln but no body at the counter told me that I could get a discount of 10 percent. Though my team mate got it. The staff is not honest at all. I felt cheated ! I claim seriously an indemnity for the 10% of the amount. a nikt przy kasie nie poinformował mnie, że mogę otrzymać 10% zniżki – mimo że mój kolega z zespołu ją dostał. równowartości tej I just spent over 1000 Polish złotys, but the counter staff didn't tell me I was entitled to a 10% discount, while my colleague did. The staff was so dishonest; I feel cheated! I strongly demand compensation for the 10% amount. Failing to treat every customer fairly is completely unreasonable!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleEla S10 October 2026It would be better with a guide, but it's still worth going to see
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleLech G10 October 2026I was at the museum two weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. Interesting exhibits, modern style. But when I went to the restroom, I was reminded of the communist era. I haven't seen such a mess since then. Paper and water (hopefully) on the floor. The floorboards were wet. The stench was awful. I don't think anyone cleans up there. Foreigners used it after me. I wonder what they thought. It's hard to give a positive review. If it weren't for the restroom, it would have been 5 stars.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDe T9 October 2026I loved the atmosphere. The vibe was great and the museum lights matched perfectly. The history of the old mill is brief but very interesting. It’s well-described and the lighting makes it easy to read. The shop sells only real amber as Gdansk is full of fakes and they also provide information on how to spot them.Posted on GoogleMagdaléna B9 October 2026Posted on GoogleЕлена О8 October 2026The museum was very impressive. It covers the entire history of amber, from its origins to the creation of amber products. It's convenient that you can buy tickets online. I highly recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTomasz M7 October 2026Posted on GoogleMiłka Z7 October 2026Posted on GoogleJapa K7 October 2026Overall, it's poor; the museum building itself is a bigger attraction than the collections. There's no ramp to the Malbork Amber Museum, but if it's free, it's a good price.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKatrin S6 October 2026Admission to the Amber Museum in Gdansk is free on Mondays. A great atmosphere. Interesting exhibits. An audio guide is recommended.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKatrin H6 October 2026Posted on GoogleIsabel T5 October 2026Nice museum (around 1-2 hours to see all floors). Impressive amber collection. Free to visit on Mondays.Posted on GoogleJan M5 October 2026Beautiful amber specimens with inclusions and unique works of amber craftsmanship.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIcha4 October 2026Posted on GooglePaulina W3 October 2026Posted on GoogleLászló G3 October 2026It's an entrance fee, but there's an area you can visit for free. Admission is free on Mondays.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleArtur P3 October 2026A large amber collection—the exhibitions are beautifully arranged. The building is atmospheric. The visit takes about an hour. Only the entrance fee could be cheaper.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAlma V2 October 2026Self service and order very fast 👍Posted on GoogleDominik S2 October 2026A fantastic and very well-lit exhibition, not only of beautiful amber exhibits, but also of exotic minerals and insects preserved in amber.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZizu R1 October 2026A museum cleverly designed in an old, huge mill building, also using modern multimedia. (I wouldn't recommend it for children who don't like the dark, though.) The exhibition material provides a lot of information. I didn't like that the 2 toilets were co-ed, so women had to use the rooms that had been dirty by men. I didn't really understand why they couldn't have designated 1 male and 1 female toilet.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleOleksiy C30 September 2026Really nice museum to visit! Recommend. They also has a big shop on the ground floor.Posted on GoogleChristina V30 September 2026Interesting and different from your usual exhibitPosted on GoogleRichard H29 September 2026Posted on GoogleMarcin29 September 2026Beautiful amber exhibits.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleLaticord 128 September 2026A great place for adults and children alike. Free admission on Mondays :)
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKamila N27 September 2026Breathtaking, beautiful exhibition. Short video about the origin of amber and how it is obtained. I recommend visiting. Min. 1 hour. There is a small bistro and toilets on site.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAgnieszka G27 September 2026If you're curious about how amber is created, how it's mined, and what can be made from it, this place is for you. Beautiful exhibits and displays, and the shops offer amber-related purchases. I highly recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarlon 426 September 2026I tried the cafe. Delicious cakes and coffee. Friendly service. Amber tables and an outdoor garden.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePetra L25 September 2026Small but exquisite. Very impressive pieces featuring fossils and handicrafts from different eras. The mill is also very impressive.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAg S25 September 2026Posted on GoogleSimona L25 September 2026The museum is definitely worth a visit. It's absolutely impressive what can be made from amber. The building itself is a real eye-catcher. I highly recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMaria K24 September 2026I'm not a fan of museums, but this place captivated me. Lots of beautiful things, a bit of history, and an interestingly designed interior.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMariela C24 September 2026We was there We visited on a Monday, and admission was free. The museum is spread across three levels and is very interesting. There are many exhibits accompanied by detailed information. For some items, the information is presented in an engaging way—for instance, you can look through holes in the wall to see where or how a particular tile or figurine was made. Numerous videos playing on screens explain the amber processing workflow. There are also exhibits containing various fossils—such as a scorpion, a mosquito, or a fish—with detailed explanations provided on information boards. The impressive amber craftsmanship is a definite must-see. If you are in Gdańsk, I highly recommend visiting this museum.Posted on GoogleBeate E23 September 2026Posted on GoogleMałgorzata N22 September 2026Posted on GoogleAhmad B22 September 2026Very good, but I thought it was bigger.Posted on GoogleWolf S21 September 2026Great exebition in a an old refurbished mill. Conveys background on amber, excavation/collection methods, samples, pieces of art as well as jewellery.Posted on GooglePiotr21 September 2026Posted on GoogleKai A21 September 2026Very interesting. Polish and English explanations. Well worth a visit! Free entry on Mondays 😉
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRada M21 September 2026The best museum I've ever visited! The logic of the passages, the aesthetics, the sheer amount of knowledge gained. Everything was amazing 🤩
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJ M21 September 2026Large exhibition of various amber objects. Modern building, black backgrounds, appropriate and well-directed lighting. You can obtain information on how amber is obtained and its transformation.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna G20 September 2026A beautiful place for adults and children alike, with a wonderful collection, without excessive electronics or sound. The only drawback is dust in the display cases.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKasia L20 September 2026Very nice exhibits, including those from private collections. The museum has several floors with interesting histories and unique exhibits.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleUlrike P20 September 2026The museum in the old mill is beautifully designed. I've never seen so much amber in one place, and especially the information about its origins. On the lower level, there's a display showing how amber forms and what it looks like in its raw state. Information panels in English and Polish provide further details. Upstairs, you can see various models of what can be made from amber and how it was crafted in the past. We found it very interesting, and you can easily spend two or three hours there. Afterward, you can browse the shop to see if you'd like to buy anything; they also offer coffee and cake. The dark decor of the rooms really makes the amber stand out.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarta B20 September 2026Informative and interesting.Posted on GoogleAgnieszka K19 September 2026A beautiful exhibition. Poorly lit. Amber is a play of colors, and unfortunately, it's not showcased. It's worth visiting while tickets are free. Minus 1* for the lighting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMaria C18 September 2026Despite our many visits to the Tricity area, this was our first time at the museum, and we regretted waiting so long. The museum doesn't seem large, but if you want to see every exhibit, it's more than adequate. We spent two hours there, and we could have spent more. For the price, it's definitely worth it. There's also a café on the ground floor with very friendly staff and delicious cakes (the cake "from yesterday" is still of excellent quality, and the price is surprisingly low).
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRafał D18 September 2026A place worth visiting. Beautiful exhibits that make a huge impression.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarta W18 September 2026Posted on GoogleLongin K18 September 2026Posted on GoogleAgata J18 September 2026The museum is truly impressive! It's worth a visit when in Gdańsk. The service is excellent, but the only downside is the ventilation—it's quite stuffy, which can make sightseeing difficult.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleKarin K17 September 2026A very nice museum with lots of amber and also interesting facts about its origin, extraction and processing.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleCrescenzo A16 September 2026A very beautiful and interesting museum. We purchased the ticket on-site for €8.50. No waiting to get in. There's also a shop where you can safely purchase items made of guaranteed Baltic amber. The only downside is that the four clerks were all busy on their cell phones, and only after we asked to buy some items did one of them get up, obviously annoyed by the inconvenience.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleGrzegorz H16 September 2026A wonderful place, full of beauty and color. Incredible natural amber pieces and handcrafted jewelry. A wonderful journey through time.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePrzemo'7215 September 2026The museum is located in the Great Mill. And it's a good thing it's there, because its collection is vast. Two levels, which means a lot. I mean quantity and quality. Everything is meticulously displayed and described.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleBeata15 September 2026A very interesting place worth visiting, I deduct one star for the dirty toilets,
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleNibylander15 September 2026A really cool and truly interesting place. I was here recently and the museum made a big impression on me. Beautiful exhibits, an interesting history of amber, and plenty of surprising things. If you're in Gdańsk, it's definitely worth a visit. And an added bonus is that admission is free on Mondays. 😊
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRyszard (15 September 2026Many interesting exhibits, this modern-style museum is worth a visit. Jewelry is available in the museum shop.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePaweł K14 September 2026An amazing place to see amber and learn about its history. I recommend visiting on Mondays because admission is free.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJan N14 September 2026Not my cup of tea, but museum itself is very pretty. Nice exhibition. At least I learned where amber comes from. Visited on Monday, it was pretty crowded but apparently for free that day.Posted on GoogleLeszek D13 September 2026Posted on GoogleBernd Z13 September 2026Posted on GoogleMilagros T12 September 2026A rather curious and different visit. The Amber Museum is a good place to learn a bit more about this material, how it forms, and to see different pieces and examples. It's not a visit that requires a lot of time, but it's entertaining and worthwhile if you're in the area and want to do something different. Overall, we enjoyed it. It's an interesting museum, pleasant to visit, and a good option to include in your itinerary if you have the time.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleElke12 September 2026Interesting, never-before-seen amber objects, presented in a visually stunning way. Once your eyes adjust to the dimness of the rooms, you'll appreciate the harmonious overall concept. There is a wheelchair-accessible entrance to the museum, located at the far end of the building. The museum's three floors can be reached by stairs or elevator. Admission is 11 zloty less for seniors aged 65 and over.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GooglePatrycja P12 September 2026Posted on GoogleZaneta S11 September 2026Posted on GoogleMichaela N11 September 2026The most interesting exhibits were the various insects.

The exhibition is quite interesting.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDamian P8 September 2026Very interesting museum. you can see rate and huge pieces of amber. It explains how it was created, when and where. At the end of a tour, you can visit a gift shop with enormous selection of amber products - from cheap.... to very expensive ones. if recommend a visit if you're interested about amber.Posted on GoogleKasia8 September 2026For people who are interested in amber it is absolutely fine, for others it may be simply boring
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleVasil K8 September 2026Posted on GooglePaweł S8 September 2026I spent about two hours there. A fantastic dose of knowledge and aesthetic experience.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleGabri8 September 2026You can't go to Gdańsk without visiting this place. It's a step back in time to prehistory when you consider how these natural resins were formed. Over the centuries, humans have shaped and used amber in a wide variety of ways, and here you can see its grandeur and splendor.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZosia (8 September 2026You have to come here and see everything with your own eyes, it's a very nice place.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJenny7 September 2026A lovely museum, but quite small. The entrance fee would be too expensive for a place you only spend about an hour. Visiting on a Monday is highly recommended – admission is free then! The on-site shop also has many beautiful pieces of jewelry.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAlan P7 September 2026Mind-blowing collection—the prehistoric amber inclusions are absolute magic! Located in the historic Great Mill (Wielki Młyn), the Muzeum Bursztynu is a must-visit in Gdańsk, the amber capital of the world. The setting inside the huge 14th-century brick mill is breathtaking, but the exhibits inside take the experience to another level.Posted on GoogleTatsiana K7 September 2026I liked the museum, it's not very big, I think there's not enough light, it's clear that amber is a stone of the sun, but it's a little uncomfortable inside because of the darkness. I recommend visiting.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleRiddick7 September 2026The Amber Museum left a good impression. You can easily walk through all the halls and see the most interesting exhibits in an hour. I especially liked the amber pieces—beautiful, high-quality, and atmospheric. However, I would like to see more of these pieces, as they really set the mood of the museum. Overall, I recommend it, but there's potential for expansion.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleNatallia K6 September 2026Located in an old 14th-century watermill, it's very Instagrammable. It has two floors and a nice, but pricey, souvenir shop inside.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleVlastimil K6 September 2026Posted on GoogleAlberto C6 September 2026Given the day, admission is free. It was a bit crowded at first, but after entering an hour after official opening, it was very quiet. It's a peculiarity, as I don't think there are many museums of this kind.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna S6 September 2026The exhibits are exceptional. The interior has a very pleasant atmosphere, with semi-darkness and illuminated exhibits. There's no clear information on the website about how visitors are admitted. Tickets are hourly and only a limited number are allowed. Therefore, if there are a large number of visitors, your visit may be delayed. I recommend it.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAle C6 September 2026A wonderful experience inside a museum dedicated to amber in all its forms and beauties. The section on fake amber is also interesting.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDominik K4 September 2026Posted on GoogleDoris D4 September 2026A unique place, a unique atmosphere, exceptional exhibits, and a beautiful location in an old mill. I recommend adding it to your list of must-sees in Gdańsk.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAnna P4 September 2026I took advantage of the free entry on Monday. A place on the map of Gdańsk that is definitely worth seeing.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAlina4 September 2026The relocation of the Amber Museum to the Great Mill building proved to be a perfect choice. This combination of austere medieval architecture and modern, thoughtful design makes a huge impression from the moment you enter. The space is spacious, well-lit, and encourages you to slowly explore the display cases. The museum's greatest strength lies in its balance – on the one hand, we have fascinating scientific exhibits, such as insect inclusions dating back millions of years, and on the other, breathtaking works of art and jewelry. Everything is described in an accessible way, and modern multimedia adds a touch of lightness to the experience, ensuring that even younger visitors will enjoy the visit. This place completely transforms the perception of amber – demonstrating that it's not just a traditional souvenir from a seaside stall, but a true work of nature and a material for outstanding artists.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleGunter H4 September 2026You should definitely interrupt your city tour here and take a look at this fascinating exhibition about amber.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleCamelia S2 September 2026Posted on GoogleRadim P2 September 2026Very nice and interesting museum.Posted on GoogleTo M2 September 2026The museum is beautiful. There are many exhibits. Admission is free on Mondays. As for the store, prices are higher than in the area. Tickets are timed. It's worth purchasing online.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMichał K2 September 2026Perfect proof that this type of museum doesn't have to be boring! For older visitors, there are beautiful exhibits showcasing amber's place in art, medicine, and other fields. For younger visitors, there's a wonderful series of animated stories about how amber is created, why amber can be found far from the sea, and the differences between different types of amber. Plus, there's interactive fun—both with and without a screen. For everyone, there's an incredible collection of amber with inclusions. All in the unique atmosphere of an old mill-granary.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMonika S2 September 2026The museum is modern and tidy, almost sterile. There are countless exhibits and a wealth of theoretical knowledge. The ticket office staff could have been more specific, as we didn't fully understand the answer to our question about leaving luggage, ticket types, and entry, and due to the strange response, we had to figure it out ourselves. This museum is definitely worth a visit.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMoukik S1 September 2026Amazing museum of Amber! Highly recommend visiting the museum.Posted on GoogleElisabeta N1 September 2026Posted on GoogleTaras M1 September 2026Posted on GoogleTadeusz O31 August 2026Posted on GoogleJoseph B31 August 2026The posted closing hour is at 8 pm until the end of August, but I arrived at 7 pm and was denied admission. We were flatly told “closed.” Extremely rude staff.Posted on GoogleAugustus C30 August 2026Interesting museum , fair value, good factual and historical account of how amber occurs in nature and is processed for jewey, art and other uses. There is also a lovely little cafe and a very good shop . If you want to buy certified quality amber jewelry in Gdansk at a fair price , this is the place to buy.Posted on GoogleKatarzyna P30 August 2026An interesting place, worth seeing. One room is dedicated to the formation of amber and its history, and the other to wonderful exhibits. Minus one star for the significantly inflated prices in the shop (the smallest amber earrings—a 5mm x 5mm stone—for 200 PLN is a gross exaggeration).

For me, it's a bit too dark and gloomy inside, although I know this was intended to create an exclusive look. It's definitely worth seeing and admiring the amber.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleDorota28 August 2026Posted on GoogleBogdan S28 August 2026Posted on GoogleMariano V28 August 2026Posted on GoogleMike M27 August 2026A great museum and definitely one of the places worth visiting while in Gdańsk. The historic Great Mill itself is impressive, and the way the interiors and the lighting of the amber really add to the atmosphere of the entire exhibition. The exhibition is very interesting and diverse. You can see natural amber nuggets, inclusions with embedded plants and animals, beautiful works by old masters, and more contemporary works. We were particularly impressed by a huge, 68-kilogram amber nugget from Sumatra and an incredible amber chess set from over 300 years ago. It's great that the museum doesn't just limit itself to viewing exhibits, but also shows how amber was created, how it was used, and why it has held such significance for Gdańsk over the centuries. We also really enjoyed the current exhibition on the ancient uses of amber in medicine. The whole thing is modern, well-presented, and you can easily spend a lot of time here. Even if you weren't particularly interested in amber before, you might change your mind after this visit. We left truly satisfied. We definitely recommend it!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleArtur J27 August 2026Posted on GoogleOskar K26 August 2026A beautiful museum, worth visiting and recommending. Prepared with the utmost care and full of valuable knowledge.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMarzena P26 August 2026Interactive museum. Suitable for children. It takes about 30 minutes to visit. It's worth it! Recommended!!!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAdam M26 August 2026A rich and interesting exhibition of both natural amber and amber products. Admission is free on Mondays, which can cause long queues for tickets, but entry is by time, so you can easily explore the exhibition. I recommend arriving a little later than the time on your ticket.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleZuzana B26 August 2026Posted on GoogleVive25 August 2026Definitely worth a visit while in Gdańsk. It offers a great deep dive into the history, trade routes, and art surrounding Baltic amber (the soft gold of the North). Fascinating exhibits throughout. My only minor complaint is the gift shop—the fridge magnet selection could definitely be better. Otherwise, a solid 5/5 experience.Posted on GoogleMaria W25 August 2026There are some unique items to admire, downstairs there is a jewelry shop and a cafe, I recommend it
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleTorboretto24 August 2026The air inside is unbreathable, too hot... The museum is interesting at times, but without a guide who speaks your own language, you can't get a handle on it... It feels more like an art exhibition than a museum about "stone"...
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIwona24 August 2026First, the building itself made a big impression on me. Both the exterior and interior. I was also captivated by the exhibition, with its abundance of amber specimens, ornaments, and jewelry. Admission to the museum is free every Monday, so it's worth taking advantage of.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIsabelle G24 August 2026Informative and accessible, it explains what amber is, how it was formed, how it is extracted, and what it has been used for throughout history. Beautiful specimens of embedded plants and animals are also featured.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleJohnny Z24 August 20264.5 *. Great museum, only for an hour. Only the queues for the toilet are terrible.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAdrian B24 August 2026You get to learn all about the Amber. One can see many of the stones and quite a few objects made with Amber. The museum shop is also quite good and can be visited without a ticket.Posted on GoogleNiki23 August 2026Posted on GoogleRobert Z23 August 2026A wonderful place, a wonderful exhibition, a breathtaking number of opportunities, amber products unique and unrepeatable.

Clean, quiet! The short movies are great for kids! If you're going that way, don't miss it!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleGiovanna A23 August 2026A small but beautiful museum. Given the price of admission, I recommend going on Mondays, when admission is free, unless you're worried about lines. I was very disappointed with the museum shop, where all the guides recommended buying original Baltic amber. I bought three pendants and didn't even receive a certificate of authenticity; they were placed in a paper bag like the worst costume jewelry!
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMikhail N23 August 2026A large collection of amber lumps (imagine and 8 kg one) and things made of amber (jewelry, chests, sculptures...). An interesting building by itself. There's a cafe there. We came at the opening time, later the ticket queue grew rather long.Posted on GoogleAnna G23 August 2026Posted on GoogleLutz F22 August 2026It's amazing what kinds of amber there are and what you can make with them; the location is an old converted mill, everything fits together very well…
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleAndrzej M22 August 2026A very interesting place. Small, but it would be more interesting if there was an audio guide. But that's just a suggestion.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleMateusz K22 August 2026Some of the exhibits are truly impressive, but I don't know why they're so expensive. I highly recommend it for a rainy day.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleWilku 322 August 2026Posted on GoogleKacper A22 August 2026Posted on GoogleMagda21 August 2026A modern museum tailored to younger visitors. Interesting exhibits, from classical pieces to jewelry and art objects. I found it a bit lacking in-depth descriptions of individual exhibits. The museum shop probably contained as much amber as the entire exhibition.
(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleStephan S21 August 2026A very nice museum. It tells the story of amber. It's fascinating what all has been and can be made from amber. Highly recommended and should definitely be on your to-do list.

museum description
Amber Museum
The museum exhibition, located on two floors, shows various aspects of amber – from its natural inclusions, through the traditions of amber craftsmanship, to its applications in medicine, art and scientific research. After moving to a new location, Wielki Młyn, in 2021, the museum gained a much larger area, which allowed it to expand its collection of exhibits.
In the new location, the Amber Museum presents unique animal inclusions, such as the “Gierłowska Lizard”, an amber lump containing a mummified lizard from 40 million years ago. In addition, the collection includes the largest lump of amber weighing 68 kg, amber chess from the 17th century and other valuable artistic works made of amber. This is a place where you can explore the history and richness of this unique raw material and its importance in art and crafts over the centuries.
