Museum in a villa of the 1930s in Niechorze, on the traditions of Baltic fishing, with fishing and navigation equipment, amber and boats in the open air.
The Sea Fishing Museum in Niechorze occupies a former German villa from the 1930s at Aleja Bursztynowa 28, the main street of the village. It collects items connected with the history, tradition and fishing culture of West Pomerania. According to the Wikipedia entry, it is one of the few centres in Poland that cultivate the traditions of small-scale fishing.
The institution has operated since 11 June 1994. It arose on the initiative of the local community gathered in the Association of Friends of the Baltic Fishing Tradition. Since 2003 it has been housed in the present villa, and since 2017 it has been a local government cultural institution operating under the Act on Museums.
The exhibits are shown in three small rooms on two floors and in the open air. The permanent exhibition devoted to Baltic fishing presents the specific nature of the fisherman's trade, fishing and navigation equipment and a collection of amber, and you can take a close look at the fauna of the region and the sands of the world's coasts. On the museum grounds stand fishing boats donated by local fishermen.
Alongside the permanent exhibition the museum organises temporary exhibitions, for example ship models from the collections of the National Museum in Szczecin and from private collections. It also runs museum lessons, outreach lessons and open-air lessons, and has an Exhibition Hall in Rewal.
It is about one and a half kilometres to the Niechorze Lighthouse, and near it lies the Lighthouse Miniatures Park. Near the museum lies the Church of St Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr, and about a kilometre further on the Lake Liwia Łuża nature reserve.
