Gdansk Museum, Gdansk, Pomorskie Voivodship, Poland
Housed in a gorgeous redbrick Franciscan monastery on the southern outskirts of the Gdansk Old Town, this represents one of the major branches of the Polish National Museum in the country. Behind the 15th-century shell, visitors will find a rich collection of religious iconography, a duo of famous altarpieces from the Middle Ages and elegant examples of Rococo furnishings. The institution, which was formerly called the Pomeranian Museum, is known for having lost around a third of its permanent exhibits during WWII. It is also home to Hans Fleming’s The Last Judgement, one of the most famous pieces of art in Poland.
