Stara Kopalnia Concerts 2024

Excellent place to visit. Cost is inexpensive and we had a guide who worked in the mine walk us through everything for 2 hours. He told first stories about the mines. The Old Mine Science and Art Centre in Wałbrzych is a museum located in the historic Julia Coal Mine. It was opened in 2014 after a major expansion of the Museum of Industry and Technology located there since 1999. Most of the objects belonging to the former mine were made available to the visitors, including the lamp room, the building of the hoisting machine, the upper part of the Julia mine shaft, mechanical workshops and the mine square with locomotives and transport vehicles. Hoisting machinery of the Julia shaft from 1911 Machines of the mechanical workshop; Large machinery and equipment of mine transport; Very cool 😎 Viewing tower built in place of the former cooling tower; Very cool 😎 trip to Viewing tower with a 360 view of area. The underground route – the training adit and the stone extraction tunnel – with mining machines and equipment for excavating and loading coal. Very cool 😎 but make sure you have headcover or hat as the water drips constantly in the mine shafts. It is creepy and cool at the same time. The floors do get damp but it is definitely worth it.

Great example of mining in old days. Very well shows challenges of hard work of miners. Well preserved with a lot of interesting artifacts. In my opinion must see by big and small.

Star Kopalnia - Definitely place to visit if you want to learn about life in mine. How things were organised, what safety measures were taken.

Really interesting museum where you can know the history of coal mining in Poland and in Silesia. There are a lot of mining equipment, most of them are historical. The guide tells intefesting stories of coal mining and shows an underground tunnel. It is also possible to see an artistic expositions. I recommend to visit. The price of ticket include visiting artistic expositions.

You can learn a lot about mining- good exhibition, interesting tour guide + visit underground. All recently renovated and still being expanded. Definitely worth a visit while in Walbrzych.
