Gmach Muzeum Śląskiego w Katowicach, Modern architectural museum building in Katowice, Poland.
The Silesian Museum building featured seven floors with large glass surfaces that allowed natural light to flow through its exhibition spaces and halls.
Designed by architect Karol Schayer in 1934, the structure was demolished between 1941 and 1944 during the German occupation of Poland.
The museum building contained extensive collections of Silesian art, artifacts, and ethnographic materials documenting the regional heritage and industrial development.
Located at Chrobrego Square in central Katowice, the museum provided advanced climate control systems to maintain optimal conditions for preserving its collections.
The building incorporated functionalist design elements similar to those found in The Hague Municipal Museum, reaching approximately 30 meters in height.
