Conveniently located by our hotel, we passed by the striking building numerous times during our stay and scheduled it in for our last morning. And, as planned, we headed over to take it all in...
Having investigated timings and "how to visit" the Museum, we were
shocked to learn that the Museum was already sold out for the morning times and
that the earliest we could get tickets to visit was at 3pm that afternoon, after our train was
to depart!
Why did it say nothing about booking in advance on the website?! (This one seemed to have nothing to do with losing our travel mojo!)

Unable to change our train to earlier in the day, we instead
headed back into the Old Town to visit Uphagen House. Built in the 18th century, this
house was restored after the war and now offers a view of what wealthy life was
like in Gdansk.
But perhaps things happen for the best - if we hadn’t been
blocked from the Museum we would never have run into legend Lech Walesa just wandering the
Old Town in his white outfit and ski poles, casually talking with passersby and kindly snapping photos with those who asked. Like a museum that had come to real life!
