BHP Hall of Gdańsk Shipyard

Local name: Sala BHP Stoczni Gdańskiej

BHP Hall of Gdańsk Shipyard is a monumental building in which, on 31st 1980, the historical Gdańsk Agreement was reached. In 1999, the hall and Solidarity Square were entered in the register of objects of cultural heritage. The interior consists of the original presidential table at which sessions of Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee took place. It is composed of smaller tables made in the carpentry shop in Gdańsk Shipyard. It also presents the exposition titled "Solidarity" - Ways to the agreement".

BHP Hall of Gdańsk Shipyard was built at the turn of the 20th century. In the beginning, it was occupied by an arsenal for torpedos owned by Kaiserliche Werft Danzig (Shipyard of the German Empire). Employee trainings were carried out here since 1961. In 1979, a conference hall and a museum were established in the building.

In December 2004, the hall was taken over by Independent Self-governing Labour Union "Solidarity". The present museum was established in 2010. The place is also used for meetings, conferences, and discussion panels.
