Öffentliche Führung durch die Sonderausstellung „Silberfieber. Der Tarnowitzer Bergbau – das UNESCO-Welterbe in Oberschlesien“

In the organizer's words:

2 EUR plus museum admission

As part of the public tour, the special exhibition is explained and made accessible through dialog.

Upper Silesia is the second largest coal and steel region in Europe after the Ruhr area. The special exhibition shows the history of mining in Tarnowitz (Tarnowskie Góry) - from its creation in 1490 to its decline and its inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2017. The aim of the exhibition is to convey European industrial culture through the ages, particularly in the German-Polish context.

The special exhibition, curated by Mariusz Gąsior, was created in collaboration with the Stowarzyszenie Miłośników Ziemi Tarnogórskiej (Friends of the Tarnowice Region), the supporting association of the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Upper Silesia. Funded by the Kulturstiftung der Länder and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

"In the 'Silver Fever' exhibition, visitors can follow in the footsteps of European industrial culture. With the help of virtual reality, you can even go underground."
