Ethnographical Museum at the Abbatial Granary
The present-day Ethnographical Museum was originally an Ethnographical Department within the structure of the Pomeranian Museum. Moved in 1979 to the Abbots' Palace in Gdansk-Oliwa, it became an independent division of the National Museum in Gdansk, to be moved again to its current premises in the eighteenth-century Abbatial Granary and re-named the Ethnographical Museum – Division of the National Museum.
The holdings come predominantly from the area of Eastern Pomerania, covering the local ethnic and cultural groups: Kociewska, the Kashubs, Borowiacka, Lower Vistula, and Zulawy. The neighbouring regions of Wielkopolska, Kujawy, Warmia and Mazury are also represented, though to a lesser extent. Permanent exhibition: "Folk Culture of Gdansk Pomerania at the Abbatial Granary". Temporary exhibitions are mounted in the Gothic wing of the Museum's former premises, the Abbots' Palace.
