Many of the interesting finds date from the period when the Amber Route was in operation in Europe, that is from antiquity to the Middle Ages. On the other hand, the most elaborate objects are the works of Gda\u0144sk amber workers from the modern times (17th-18th century).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Museum's premises are currently undergoing renovation. The House of Naturalists at Mariacka Street in Gda\u0144sk is closed. Once the renovation is complete, it will be possible to see a completely new permanent exhibition, which will display the most valuable amber artefacts from the Museum's collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, amber enthusiasts can be recommended to visit the Granary of the Blue Lamb<\/a> at 53 Chmielna Street (it is one of the four branches of the Archaeological Museum in Gda\u0144sk). There, amber appears in two permanent exhibitions: \u201eMedieval Hanseatic Street\u201d and \u201eGdansk in the Hanseatic World\u201d. It is also worth keeping an eye on the temporary exhibitions, which change every few months; impressive amber collections also occur there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the Archaeological Museum in Gdansk makes available free of charge e-books<\/a>, where you can find valuable information about amber monuments, for example: \u201eCraftsmen or artists? Women's ornaments from Pomerania at the end of antiquity\u201d, \u201eMysteries of the Chmielno castle excavated from the ground - results of archaeological research\u201d, \u201eMission \u2018Coronation\u2019. Pomerania in the time of the first Piasts\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
