Uphagen's House - Museum of Burgher Interiors

Local name: Dom Uphagena - Muzeum Wnętrz Mieszczańskich

The most famous Gdańsk townhouse is Uphagen's house. Once it was the seat of city council member - John Uphagen. Today, as a well-preserved 18th century historic building, it serves as the Museum of the Interiors of the Town.

Uphagen House is one of a handful of eighteenth century burgher houses in Europe that can be explored. It is the only such museum in Poland. You can see the characteristic decoration of typical bourgeois interior.

The interior of the townhouse was divided into individual rooms: a stone floor, a former merchant's shop (today serves as a museum shop), a living room, a mezzanine, a spacious dining room, a bedroom and an office.

Much of Uphagen's home furnishings are original. It was not destroyed during the war, because it was temporarily moved and hidden - in the meantime, the tenement itself was under fire. There are also trendy ornaments in those days. Walls with antique paintings and Chinese themes.
