Occupying a building dating from 1903 this grand seaside villa once belonged to the influential Claaszen family. Now operating as the museum of Sopot this rambling mansion traces both the history of Sopot, and that of the Claaszen family, through a series of photographs, postcards and prints. Many rooms have been left as they were at the start of the century, filled with grandfather clocks, letters and glass cabinets hiding bone china sets and other family possessions. Unfortunately with much of the exhibition in Polish you will leave having gained little if any knowledge. The second floor houses changing art exhibits. Typical of Polish museums, if you arrive in wet weather expect to be given plastic bags to tie around your feet, and do expect to be trailed by over-eager curators.

Admission 5/3zł. Thu free.
