The History of the Maritime Cultural Centre in Nowy Port
The Maritime Cultural Centre (MCC) building was one of the few elements realized as part of Danuta Weirowska’s master plan. It was intended to serve the districts that were, at the time, most neglected in terms of cultural and educational infrastructure, namely Nowy Port, Letnica, Brzeźno, and Wisłoujście. The Cultural Centre was named “Maritime” due to the strong connection of the local community with the sea, the port, and the shipyard.
