Gdańsk: If you have more time...
The Hewelianum Centre/PKFM "Twierdza Gdańsk"
The Hewelianum Centre - recognize, rest, learn! - This is the slogan that has guided those who have implemented the Hewelianum Programme. It was born out of the modern centre of education and knowledge learning, located in the Góry Gradowej Fort in Gdańsk. It's a friendly place for tourists, with the purpose of the popularisation of science, where in addition to gaining knowledge about physics, astronomy, history or biology, you can simply spend a nice time with your family, walking among the greenery. The Hewelianum Centre is far from traditional museum exhibitions. In addition to the renovation of the historic buildings, interactive thematic exhibitions are organised, as well as events and popular science lectures which are open to residents of the region. The centre also looks after nature in Grodzisk and shapes pro-environmental attitudes. In the future there are plans to create a planetarium on the Góry Gradowej as well as connecting its slopes to the city with a cable car.
Park Twierdza Gdańsk (Gdańsk Fortress Park) - The Cultural Park of the City Fortifications, or 'Gdańsk Fortress,' is located in the Grodzisko Quarter - a small fragment of Gdańsk city centre, featuring an architectural shape which has been almost unchanged for over a century. It was preserved there to strengthen the fort ramparts, along with the park fortifications, the former Corpus Christi hospital, and also an extremely valuable church and dense complex of prison buildings, by ul. Kurkowa, which is now occupied by an investigative detention centre. Since 2002, the area of the fort ramparts has been administered by the specially appointed: Cultural Park of the City Fortifications 'Gdańsk Fortress' unit. Cultural activities, research, education and promotion regarding the dissemination of knowledge about Gdańsk's monuments and defensive military architecture is carried out here. One of the main areas of activity is the implementation of the Hewelianum Programme.
