Painting in West Pomerania: the National Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Szczecin, and the Museum of Book Art in Koszalin.
Three museums for people who like art: from a large institution with several branches to a small venue of artistic books. All are indoors, so good for a rainy day.
