The Museum of the Vistula Lagoon in Katy Rybackie, opened in 2002, is the PMM’s newest branch; it is open to visitors only in the summer season. On display here are traditional fishing boats from the surrounding region, as well as a unique historical boatyard with over 300 tools for building and repairing boats. The Museum’s permanent displays are augmented each year by a number of temporary exhibitions on maritime or regional subjects.
