Museum of the Polish Nobility - The National Museum in Gdańsk

The Museum of the Polish Nobility, housed in the Palace of the Counts Sierakowski collects mementoes and works of art related to the building’s history (the palace, farm buildings and the park, acting as a summer drawing room) and the story of its owners, the Sierakowski family, its predecessors and the related families who influenced the interior décor in Waplewo (the Sołtan, Pociej, Radziwiłł, Potocki, Lubomirski and Zboiński clans).

The Museum’s main objective is to develop a collection of items related to the Polish gentry culture in its broad sense by acquiring objets d’art that used to adorn manors, palaces and their surroundings, clothes worn by the Polish gentry and the objects that accompanied the gentry in their everyday efforts managing their property, their social and cultural activism and during leisure time. A collection of letters by the poet Zygmunt Krasiński and items with family coats of arms are especially valuable.
