The Theatre Department is a part of Department of Modern Art of the National Museum in Gdańsk which is housed in the historic Abbots’ Palace, at 18 Cystersów Street, in the heart of historic Oliwa. The palace is located within Oliwa Park, in the immediate vicinity of the Oliwa Archcathedral and the Ethnography Department, housed in the Abbots’ Granary.

The Abbots’ Palace is easiest to reach on foot through Oliwa Park. From the park’s main entrance on Opata Jacka Rybińskiego Street, the walk takes about 5 minutes.

The palace is just a few minutes’ walk from the Oliwa Archcathedral. The Ethnography Department is about a 2-minute walk away.
