Opening of the children’s trail at the Emigration Museum in Gdynia

November 18, 2023

Mysterious suitcases, drawers full of surprises, and Kłębek the crab, who guides children through the story of emigration.

18–19 November 2023 · Emigration Museum in Gdynia · Akcja Anima as project partner

The Emigration Museum created a trail through its permanent exhibition for families with children aged 6 to 10. Interactive boards, colourful cushions and multi-sensory features help the youngest visitors understand the difficult themes of a story about journeys and the search for shelter.

Their guide is Kłębek, a Chinese mitten crab and an immigrant himself, who reached Gdynia in a ship’s ballast water.

Over the opening weekend, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., visitors found interactive stands, dance activities, art workshops and a meeting with the MARE Foundation about the Baltic ecosystem. Admission was free. The project was co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund.
