Route chronicle
The Museum is located in a historic building of the former local administrative unit, erected 136 years ago in 1875. The style and decor of the building supplements the eclectic trend, popularized at the end of the 19th century. Whereas the representative “Stained glass window room” is arranged according to the Scandinavian Gothic style. The rich collection of the Zabrze Museum includes, inter alia: a mining axe from the 17th century used by miners from Olkusz and numerous photographs, majority of which is over one hundred years old. In the Museum there is also the 18th-century drainage water pump (“kunszt”), the only one so-well preserved in Europe. In the Coal Mining Museum we can admire the exhibition “Secrets of the Carboniferous Forest”. It includes fossils from before 300 million years, as well as natural-sized models of huge dragonflies and a 1.5-meter Carboniferous centipede.
