The Silesian Museum is an unusually-looking venue, where futuristic blocks minge with the post-mining buildings. There are several exhibitions; some are located at a depth of 14 metres! The most popular one is devoted to Upper Silesian history. The mineshaft “Warszawa II” was transformed into a 40-metre high observation tower. From there you can get a unique view of the city. Remember that the museum is closed on Mondays, and the entrance is free on Tuesdays.

A lot of places in Poland accept credit cards. In some cases, you may be offered to choose the currency of your payment. Insist on paying in Polish zloty. Otherwise, some extra ‘guarantee’ or ‘fee’ is likely to be added to your bill by the financial intermediary.

Central Museum of Firefighting at Mysłowice is among the largest museums of its kind in Europe. Its collections include over 4,000 exhibits, some of which are a hundred or even a couple hundred years old! For instance, the oldest car on display was produced by Mercedes-Benz in 1913. However, the museum also has a horse-tailed water pump dating back to 1717. A must-visit place for those interested in the history of technology!
