University of Gdańsk Museum

The University of Gdańsk, the largest university in Pomerania, was established in 1970 from the merger of the Higher School of Economics in Sopot and the Higher School of Pedagogy in Gdansk, whose origins date back to 1945-1946. The Museum of the University of Gdańsk (MUG) collects, develops and makes available the university’s heritage and the history of science, promoting the university’s role in the cultural, scientific and political life of the region. In 2024, the MUG’s permanent exhibition opened in the building on ul. Bielanska 5, and there are numerous temporary exhibitions, workshops, lectures and promotional events. The MUG also conducts documentation and research work on the history of the university and cooperates with other cultural institutions within the “RadUNIA Kultury” network, strengthening the cultural offer of the Old Town in Gdańsk.
