1. Limited exhibition: Some visitors believe that the permanent exhibitions are too modest and do not fully reflect the city's rich history. Therefore, expectations regarding a deeper narrative about Gdynia may not be met.
2. Lack of interactivity: Compared to modern museums that offer many interactive elements, the Gdynia City Museum may seem traditional and less engaging to a younger audience.
3. Location: Although it is located in the city center, some visitors may find it difficult to find, especially if someone does not know Gdynia well.
4. Limited opening hours: Some criticism also concerns opening hours, which may not be adapted to the needs of tourists, especially on weekends.
5. Ticket price: For some visitors, the ticket price may seem too high compared to the exhibition content offered.
6. Lack of catering facilities: The lack of a café or restaurant on site may be considered an inconvenience, especially for tourists spending a long time in the museum.
7. Parking spaces for people with disabilities are located 100 meters from the museum.
8. The museum responds to visitors' intervention for no longer than 2 months.
9. Films published before September 1, 2019 do not have subtitles for the deaf, some graphic materials lack alternative texts, some documents are not digitally available.
10. The director of the museum is Karin M., an official from the city hall of former president Wojciech Sz., who was associated with former president Lech K. (PiS). Appointed to the position of acting director by the same Wojciech Sz.

The current „m.” [Anna F.-L. (59) e.g. conservator, Małgorzata M. (62) e.g. employment and payroll specialist, Zofia K. (55) e.g. accountant] worked closely with Krzysztof K. (PZPR, SLD) as his devoted employees. Krzysztof K. questioned, contrary to the facts, the origin of museum exhibits worth millions of zlotys from the Z. collection. He took over the m. g. house for his private agritourism. He organized widely criticized hunting events with the participation of, for example, former „president” Bronisław K. (PO).
In 2015, Krzysztof K. as d. (a warm pensioner of Art Nouveau glass collector) was replaced by Anna F.-L., appointed by Sławomir S. (PSL), who claimed to be the so-called marshal of the L. voivodeship. In 2020, for the next 5-year term, he recommended Anna F.-L., claiming to be the so-called marshal of the L. voivodeship Jarosław S. (PiS). Claiming to be the so-called mini. of cu. Piotr G. (PiS) agreed to the so-called the appointment without a competition and he was convinced, for example, by the «Catholic Association "Civitas Christiana"».
The current „m.” continues the entire "line" adopted by Krzysztof K. and guards his i. Why? If you don't know what the problem is...
On June 22, 2018, a special event was organized together with the "Polish Hunting Association", which was met with numerous voices of protest. On the same day, Anna F.-L. was honored by Piotr G. with the "Gloria Artis" medal. The same Piotr G. appointed Anna F.-L. for the years 2021-2024 as a member of the "council for museums and places". Then, in a "secret ballot", Anna F.-L. was "chosen" for the so-called chairman of the board.
The so-called the board of the L. voivodeship dismissed Anna F.-L. from the position of director. Previously, twice the so-called marshal of the L. voivodeship Jarosław S. (PiS) addressed the so-called minister of c. Piotr G. (PiS) to express his opinion on the dismissal of Anna F.-L. The so-called writings marshal's questions remained unanswered. List of charges against Anna F.-L. is long, the main ones concerned the renovation for PLN 40 million, which practically stopped, and the inappropriate spending of funds on the so-called law firm.
On March 1, 2023, Jerzy D., a disability specialist, became the acting director without competition, and his deputy was Sławomir G., specializing in socialist realism, a long-time collaborator of Krzysztof K. and Anna F.-L.
Jerzy D. will soon be replaced by Bożena C., an official from the so-called marshal's office, the resolution on her appointment was passed without competition on August 16, 2023 by the so-called board of the L. voivodeship.

Inaugurated in September 2002, in Seia, at the heart of the Serra da Estrela mountains, the Bread Museum is today a landmark in Portuguese museology and the largest complex in the world dedicated to the theme. It is not a museum to simply look at – it is one to feel, to listen with your hands, to taste with your eyes, and to learn with your soul. The Bread Museum belongs to everyone who finds themselves in it. It is shared memory, heritage with the scent of warm bread from the oven.
This museum holds 12,000 years of human history through the most universal of all foods. Here, time slows down and echoes the footsteps of those who sowed, harvested, kneaded, and baked. The mills tell stories, and the ancestral act of making bread – simple, hard, essential – is revealed as one of civilisation’s greatest gestures.
