Polish Art Center — Local services in Hamtramck

Absolutely love this place and what a charming homage to the wonderful Polish culture that flavors the area. It really is like a visit to another country when you walk in, if you stay for a proper period of time even just to admire the wares on display, you'll walk out of the store almost forgetting you're still in the states (at least I did). Every time I turned around I saw something charmingly captivating that I didn't see on my first look. A lot of the items are also very affordable and make truly unique gifts for yourself or others. The staff are the other highlight - amazingly nice and friendly people who make you feel like you've been invited into their home and they are deadset on taking care of you. They are very polite, conversational, and share a lot of interesting and engaging knowledge about the products within; the best way I can describe it is a museum gift shop where the gift shop is the museum too, if that makes sense. I also really like the fact that they don't pressure you to buy, they are just as happy watching customer reactions and engagement with the items and talking about each one besides selling them. I could've stayed so much longer if it had not gotten so late. Do yourself a favor if you want a remarkable cultural experience and seek this place out to support these wonderful people and their...

Finally made it here after a friend recommended me. Gorgeous gift shop with many different products to choose from. Beautifully-made Polish pottery, you can tell everything are skill-handcrafted and the price is not over asking, given the quality and authenticity of the product. People who want cheap, fake “Polish” pottery should just go to Target. I was mesmerized by the interior, the entire experience was very wholesome. Owner is very kind, knowledgeable about all the products, helpful with anything the customers need and their hospitality is what makes this place so special. I ended up buying a baking pan and a beautiful mug as a wedding gift, and the owner helped me wrap them soon as she heard it’s for a wedding. Lovely gift shop in the mid of Hamtramck. Will...

I've gone to Poland four times, seen souvenir shops there, and seen lots of Polish attractions. The Polish Art Center in Hamtramck is a massive shop, and beats out any other Polish themed store I've ever seen. The owner is very kind, has a deep love for his culture, and is an expert in curating really wonderful pieces of art, books and more.

This is one of the only places I know of that sells fruit and veggie seeds from Poland, and their stoneware collection is second to none. They conduct art classes here too which I cannot speak to but I've heard great things about their traditional egg painting workshops.

If you're in Hamtramck, youd be doing yourself a disservice to pass this place up. Have fun...
