The exhibition presents objects inextricably linked to the period of Gdańsk's greatest splendor, when it remained within the borders of the First Polish Republic, including: The Main Town Hall, Artus Court, the Great Armory and the Green Gate. Absolutely unique monuments on a global scale were also shown - such as the Great Mill, St. Mary's Basilica and the Crane Gate. Today, the no longer existing buildings of the Danziger Hof and Continental hotels and the recently restored railway station were recalled - although they were built in the German reality of the late 19th century, in the Free City of Gdańsk they became the center of activity of Poles fighting to maintain their identity and culture.
Destroyed, burned and looted as a result of the struggle between two totalitarian powers - German and Soviet - the city was largely rebuilt by Poles. Despite the difficult post-war conditions, the idea of "relaxing everything" or the idea of liquidating the patrician, bourgeois downtown in favor of a housing estate for the working class, it was possible to partially recreate and partially re-create the spirit of the "Aureae Portae" place and the pearl in the Crown of the Republic of Poland.
The exhibition was created in a unique 3D technique. In the photos we can see changing photographs of Gdańsk destroyed after the war and compare them to what the buildings look like today.
