Queen Luiza Mining Open-Air Museum, Mining museum and open-air complex in Zabrze, Poland
The mining museum contains a network of underground tunnels stretching over 10 kilometers, displaying equipment and machinery from different periods of coal extraction.
The Queen Louise site started operations in 1791 as one of the first state-owned coal mines in Prussia, transforming into an educational facility in the late 20th century.
The museum presents industrial heritage through exhibitions of mining tools, worker uniforms, and documentation that illustrates the daily operations of Silesian mines.
Guided tours in multiple languages take visitors through underground passages, requiring advance reservations and appropriate clothing due to constant temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius.
The museum features an underground water transport system where visitors travel by boat through flooded mining corridors dating back to the 19th century.
