48 hours with the Pomorskie Region at Expo 2020 Dubai!
Watch the highlights from the short but intense visit of the Pomorskie Region in the Poland Pavilion at #Expo2020Dubai.
The region's temporary exhibition consisted of four colourful totems: gold, blue, green and red. They symbolised the three Pomeranian unique cities that form the metropolitan area known as Tricity.
Gold referred to the Pomorskie region, often called the kingdom of the Baltic Gold - amber. Pomorskie is internationally famous for its beautiful amber jewellery craftsmanship. Every year, the seaside city of Gdańsk hosts the International Fair of Amber and Jewellery, “Amberif”. It is also home to the Amber Museum, which houses the biggest lump of amber in the world.
Blue evoked the maritime nature of Gdynia, known as the city of sea and dreams. A picturesque harbour and marina, impressive sailing ships: Dar Młodzieży and Dar Pomorza, the seaside boulevard, the Orłowo Pier, water sports and sailing events make Gdynia the sailing capital of Poland.
Green embodied the SPA character of Sopot and the city locations between the sea and the national park known as the green lungs of Tricity. Sopot is a tourist resort with its famous Monte Cassino promenade. It offers a wide range of hotels and apartments as well as a broad selection of excellent restaurants, cafes, pubs, music clubs and venues.
Red was a symbol of the historical background of Gdańsk. Red is a symbol of a brick building, and the representation of the historic architecture of the Old Town: St. Mary's Basilica, tenement houses, old city gates situated along the Royal Route, and the Crane make up the genius loci of the millennium
The region presented a unique cultural programme, with the amber and fashion shows and music performances by Bartłomiej Szopiński.
