Gdańsk European Solidarity Centre Guided Tour & Entry Ticket

Visiting the exhibition at the European Solidarity Centre – an extraordinary journey through contemporary history
For this exhibition, the guidance of a certified docent is highly recommended—and for good reason. Many myths, prejudices, and misconceptions have grown up around the subject of "Solidarity" (Solidarność), the strikes, and the aspirations for change—often repeated uncritically by self-styled "experts" on history, government officials, or unreliable journalists.

We invite you on a journey through the twists and turns of modern history—a time when Polish society demonstrated great courage and, on several occasions, surprised the entire world. It is worth remembering that the city of Gdańsk played a pivotal role in these efforts to return to normalcy.

Beyond the more serious historical narratives, there is also room for humor; after all, Poland was once known as "the merriest barracks in the socialist camp." For many, visiting this exhibition will be a trip back to their childhood and youth, prompted by various artifacts on display—such as a vintage soda siphon, a classic modular wall unit, or an official "complaints and suggestions" logbook.

During the tour, there will also be room for significant questions that are not easy to answer—for instance, we will reflect on the topic of freedom and its complex meaning...
