Gdansk not only has the Old Town [link to other attraction], it is also where you’ll find the European Solidarity Centre. It opened on the 34th anniversary of the August Accords, a trade agreement that gave factory workers more rights and freedom. That was the foundation for establishing a democratic Poland.
The museum is dedicated to solidarity, trade, and the civil resistance movement in Eastern Europe. It features 2,000 exhibits and a library with 100,000 books and documents. It acts as a research and learning centre for educational conferences. Although the 5-story building looks like it’s broken, the European Solidarity Centre represents anything but. It promotes awareness of the country’s greatest success, and of the fall of Communism.
Those who signed the proclamation said they wished the European Solidarity Centre would “become the world’s centre for the ideas of freedom, democracy, and solidarity to be fostered.”
