The European Solidarity Centre is a cultural institute, archive and museum devoted to the preservation of the heritage of the Polish Solidarity movement, the history of the Gdańsk Shipyard, activism and human rights within the context of Solidarity and within a wider European context. The Centre's permanent exhibition deals with the history of resistance against oppression in the communist era in Poland and the Solidarity movement.

The Museum staff are currently selecting the first batch of images for upload.
Technical and legal issues
