Bardzo interesujące miejsce z potencjałem na więcej i lepiej. Niestety, el galeria sztuki była tymczasowo zamknięta, za co odejmuję gwiazdkę. Ekspozycje czasowe, że Śląskiem zwiqxane lużno, przewidziane dla odbiorcy, który już widział prawie wszystko, może poza dość udaną wystawą o stroju śląskm.

This is a collection of buildings with a wide variety of exhibits. There are large collections of modern art on display in several of them. In the main building there are some extremely impressive exhibits, taking you through the history of Silesia, it's people and it's culture. There is one building which retains the original steam powered winding wheel, which unfortunately no longer seems to work. The huge shaft winding tower was unfortunately closed for rehabilitation when we visited (August 2025) - it would be a great viewing platform if it was open. A lot of the open spaces were closed of for repairs, but it still a nice area to walk around. Definitely worth a visit for the impressive history exhibits, or if you like modern art.
