Old Mine Science and Art Centre in Wałbrzych, Mining museum and cultural center in Wałbrzych, Poland
The Old Mine Science and Art Centre occupies a former coal mining complex with preserved industrial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The facility originated from the Fuchs mine registered in 1770, which merged several smaller mining operations dating back to the 16th century in the Weißstein area.
The center combines industrial heritage exhibitions with contemporary art galleries, ceramic workshops, and educational programs about mining technology and regional development.
Visitors can explore the complex through guided tours daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with general admission tickets priced at 6 euros.
The museum preserves the original Julia shaft that reached 611 meters deep and features mechanical workshops, a lamp room, and hoisting machinery from the operational mining era.
