About
Stara Kopalnia is the former Julia coal mine, restored in 2014 into a 4.5-hectare museum of shaft towers, engine halls and original machinery. Guided tours, often led by former miners, pass through the lamp room, the miners' bathhouse, the dispatch room and an underground tunnel.
The SOWA zone adds hands-on science exhibits for kids, and there is a contemporary art and ceramics gallery on site.
