Silesian Museum, Regional museum in Bogucice district, Katowice, Poland.
The Silesian Museum occupies a former coal mine site with extensive underground galleries and modern glass structures integrated into industrial buildings.
Founded in 1929 by the Silesian Parliament, the museum's original collection moved to Bytom during World War II when Germans destroyed the building.
The museum presents Polish art from 1800 to 1945, including works by Jan Matejko, Olga Boznańska, and Zdzisław Beksiński across multiple exhibition spaces.
Located in the Cultural Zone, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM with full wheelchair accessibility.
The underground exhibition spaces extend beneath the surface while preserving the mine's shaft tower, which now serves as an observation platform.
