The amber collection
Malbork's amber holdings are among the most valuable in the country — natural pieces with inclusions (trapped insects and plants) alongside jewellery and everyday objects from many periods. It is a natural complement to the Baltic 'amber' thread that runs through the region.
The other collections
- Arms and armour — weapons linked with the history of the Order
- Sculpture and architectural detail — originals and casts
- Temporary exhibitions — a changing programme
- Combined tickets with the castle visiting route
Practical notes
The displays occupy castle halls and form part of the visiting route — it is worth setting aside extra time for the amber collection. In season it is best to arrive early to avoid the queues.
