The Gdansk Museum of Burgher Culture is housed in an eighteenth century house, once the property of the affluent Uphagen family. There has been a museum here since 1911, although it was then called the Museum of Burgher Interiors. The interiors of the Uphagen House have retained their richly decorated wood panelling, door frames, wall niche ornaments, stoves as well as some furnishings and personal effects of the Uphagen family. In 1993-6 the interiors were restored and equipped with furniture and other items, such as mirrors, clocks, paintings, carpets, and the like, from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Visitors can see a typical house of the Gdansk patrician of that age, with a hall, sales office, drawing room, dining room, smoking room, music room, kitchen and bakery. A restored court, typical of Gdansk burgher houses, is also on view.
