“The Baltic. Sea of Green Energy” with new exhibits. The only such exhibition in Poland to be seen in Gdansk

How is the wind created, how have people over the centuries used its potential and what does the Baltic Sea have to do with it? These questions are answered by the interactive exhibition “Baltic. Sea of Green Energy”, which has been prepared by Equinor and Polenergia at the Marine Culture Center, a branch of the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk. The organizers invite both adults, young people and children to visit. This is the first exhibition in Poland dedicated to the secrets of the offshore sector and green energy.

This exhibition is an unusual journey to the open waters of the Baltic Sea. The exhibition tells the story of how green energy is born in the Baltic Sea and what path it takes to reach our homes. The focal point of the exhibition is an interactive mock-up, presenting the stages of offshore wind farms – from planning through construction, operation and maintenance. The narrator of this part of the installation is Krystyna Czubówna.

The exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk is the result of our socio-educational activities. We regularly organize informational meetings, as well as interactive classes with elementary and high school students. We want to be present in the daily lives of the neighbors of our investments and the local community close to us. We are pleased that our exhibition attracts the attention of so many residents of the Tri-City, tourists and visitors. The purpose of this initiative was to illustrate the idea of symbiosis of man, nature and technology in the service of the environment. We hope we have achieved this.

The narrative of the exhibition has been designed in such a way that both adults, teenagers and children can find themselves in it. The latter are sure to be intrigued by, among other things, a model of a sustainable energy ecosystem, built with LEGO bricks. The exhibition is popular among Gdansk residents and tourists – it has already attracted the attention of more than 14?000 visitors.

Visitors can draw information not only from graphics, descriptions, photos or animations and videos. Interactive stations and realistic exhibits, such as fragments of marine cables or a transformer station fan, also await them. In turn, they will feel the power of the wind thanks to special simulators. The conclusion of the exhibition is a quiz measuring the knowledge gained. At the end of the tour, visitors can make an artwork and take it home as a souvenir.

The authors of the exhibition have also created space for an educational zone, where workshops and lectures on offshore and RES topics are organized, led by educators from the National Maritime Museum and experts from Equinor and Polenergia. Both companies are the originators and curators of the exhibition. They are jointly implementing the construction of three wind farms in the Baltic Sea with a total capacity of up to 3,000 MW. The most advanced projects, Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3, are at the stage of preparatory work at the interface between sea and land, at the so-called landfall, and further inland, where site organization for cable laying is underway. At the same time, work is being carried out in the area of the onshore transformer station. Both farms are scheduled to be operational in 2027, and will eventually be able to supply more than 2 million households in Poland with green energy.

Recently, the exhibition has been enriched with new ship models, which will soon begin installation work. One of them is an underwater vehicle, moving on the seabed at a depth of up to 500 meters and weighing as much as a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane. In turn, the so-called cable ship, “Isaak Newton”, has two cable carousels, so-called turntables, capable of holding more than 10?000 tons of cables, equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower! What other curiosities are hidden in the world of offshore wind farms - you should find out about it by visiting our exhibition.

One of the green aspects that the exhibition promotes is taking care of the planet by optimizing energy consumption in daily life. There is a multimedia screen to show visitors how to save energy at home, as well as an installation showing a comparison of the energy consumption of traditional incandescent, halogen, fluorescent and led lamps. The authors of the exhibition invite visitors to reflect on our planet and write down their wishes for the Earth on specially prepared cards.

The exhibition “Baltic. Sea of Green Energy” is not the only educational initiative of Equinor and Polenergia dedicated to offshore wind farms. In 2024, the Companies launched in Leba the first stationary Baltic Offshore Wind Farm Information Center in Poland. It is a place where you can get comprehensive knowledge about investments made by experts from Poland and Norway.

The exhibition is located on the third floor of the Maritime Culture Center, a branch of the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk, at 21/25 Tokarska Street, right next to the Żuraw at the seaside. It can be visited on your own or with a guide, during museum working hours. The Museum’s Education Department has prepared an interesting educational offer for every age group, school groups and families with children.
