Muzeum Slaskie comprises a building complex erected at the site of the former mine and represents a perfect combination of the region’s identity with state-of-the-art architectural solutions. Such result was achieved thanks to the maximum use of underground space, and therefore relatively low interference with the local, post-industrial landscape. Impressive spaces are vast and modern and at the same time maintain the memory of place, which closely corresponds with the Museum’s cultural policy. The new building of Muzeum Slaskie, raised as a result of the local inhabitants’ needs and some brave decisions, has quickly and naturally become the crucial cultural centre of the region, a remarkably important Silesian social life hub and a significant contributor on the cultural map of Poland. The new building allowed us to display valuable exhibits, which we were unable to present to the visitors earlier, and create the “The Light of History. Upper Silesia over the Ages.” exhibition — an innovative event, which is both important for the region and emotional. However, opening new exhibitions in just one of the goals fulfilled by the Silesian Museum. It is people who matter most to us and that is why we are proud to have established a dynamic and thriving meeting place.

This museum includes an art gallery, a history museum, a viewing tower, and a couple of temporary exhibits. Not being an art lover, and being that the gallery was the first exhibit in the museum, I was afraid I was going to be disappointed. But the history exhibit was truly excellent. There were a lot of place names with which I was unfamiliar (being that I'm from the U.S.), but that didn't stop me from making sense of the history of Silesia. Nearly everything was well documented in English, Polish, and German. I spent almost three hours just in the history exhibit, plus another hour or two in the other areas. There are not a lot of seats or benches in the museum however, so be prepared for a lot of standing.

The main building and most of the Museum’s departments are located in a historic tenement house which was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Its exclusive premises were once occupied by wealthy citizens of the city. Having appreciated the building’s virtues, the Local Government in Katowice decided to allocate the House to the Museum in 1979. In order to faithfully reconstruct middle-class interiors, a permanent exhibition was created in situ. Departments of The Museum of The History of Katowice: -> THEATRE AND FILM DEPARTMENT ul. Kopernika 11, 40-064 Katowice -> PAWEŁ STELLER’S GRAPH ul. Kosciuszki 47, 40-048 Katowice -> ETHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT ul. Rymarska 4, 40-425 Katowice-Nikiszowiec

You can now take a self-guided walking tour through the district with descriptions in English and German as well. I'm so happy this place is gaining recognition which it truly deserves as an industrial monument with so few of its kind left. Beautiful place, where time has partly stopped. Now two of Katowice's best restaurants are located there.

Plenty of paths to walk. Some playing ground for children. Nice old church not to be missed. But very little alternatives to eat something - so bring your own food!

It is a very nice green place where you can take some rest, stroll among the trees or go for a run and workout there.
