    Great museum, very interesting. unfortunately no possibility to leave the clothes and belongings in the wardrobe, everything has to be put into lockers and it’s a problem if something doesn’t fit

    Good museum with many collections in old mining site. Collections include contemporary and classic art, timeline and development of the region, mining etc. Surely worth the visit if in town. Ticket includes going up the tower. Very nice to know: tickets are free on Tuesdays! Clean toilets. 4g coverage us good on the whole site.

    A museum located in Katowice, Poland. The first time I went to that region, I had the opportunity to travel. You can see quite impressive artifacts and historical events. In addition, an incredibly beautiful painting exhibition fascinates you inside the museum.

    This museum is a wealth of in depth knowledge with plenty of things to do across different buildings and great value too with a free car park. I would recommend a visit here.

  • 4/5 Dieter N. 10 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Great place with a wild mix of arts. Excellent transformation of the former industrial estate. A big exhibition about history, which is overall good however - like always in Poland - lacks honesty in regards to the difficult Polish- German past.

    Great place that surprised us by how huge it actually is. From outside the main building looks small, but once you get inside it's incredibly vast and full of interesting art pieces. There is a security check at the front, cloak room for free, no photography allowed in the exhibition itself. There is even a relax area where you can play electronic Monopoly in Polish. We fully recommend visiting this place! 👍

    The museum opens until 8pm at night. It is spacious and have different areas to showcase sculptures and paintings. Not very huge but a nice place to visit especially during the freezing winter. The observation tower not open in winter.

    Silesian Museum is one of the top attractions in Katowice and I highly recommend for those visiting the city to drop by and take a glimpse of the city’s history. It is a very interesting and comprehensive museum with exhibits that will fascinate the visitors.

  • 4/5 Ryan H. 1 year ago on Google • 133 reviews
    This museum featured a multitude of various artworks from Poland showcased on the upper floor (bags and jackets need left in lockers/cloakroom) I visited when this was free which is every Tuesday which is a great incentive and allows people to experience it for free! Noting that the tower observation point is closed in winter The temporary exhibits downstairs were of greater interest and offered a detailed history of Poland during world wars and the influence of the surroundings, even featuring artefacts used such as a guillotine from a death camp - highly recommend checking this out and expanding your understanding of the devastation and losses Poland faced in terms of lives, families and treasured arts!

    (Translated by Google) It is actually a museum where you can find what everyone likes in the museum. An additional advantage is the good food that we can get on the spot. For more interesting people there is a library with a reading room. (Original) Właściwie jest to takie muzeum w którym można odnaleźć to,co każdy lubi w muzeum. Dodatkowym atutem jest dobre jedzenie, które możemy dostać na miejscu. Dla bardziej ciekawych osób jest dostępna biblioteka z czytelnią.

    Misleading place name. This is not a museum. This is an office. The word Museum needs to be removed. I strongly suggest a name change. 2 stars for the friendly staff though. ^_^

    Not a museum, an archive at best. No access to the public, when asked I was told it was just offices and there are no exhibits to even view

    (Translated by Google) The business card administrator should add information that the museum administration is located at Mokotowska street. This is confusing information for users. (Original) Administrator wizytówki powinien dodać informację, że przy ulicy Mokotowskiej mieści się administracja muzeum. To jest informacja mylaca dla użytkowników.

    (Translated by Google) I was before and during the pandemic. Once great, today a massacre. They sell tickets as much as they have, and in a moment it turns out that you cannot enter the exhibition because there are queues and the limit of places. Why are you selling so many tickets and accumulating customers? You have to portion or inform at the cash desk that you have to wait an hour in line. (Original) Byłam przed i w trakcie pandemii. Kiedyś super, dzisiaj masakra. Sprzedają bilety ile tylko mają, a za chwilę okazuje się, że nie można wejść na wystawę bo są kolejki i limit miejsc. To po co sprzedajecie tyle biletów i kumulujecie klientów? Trzeba porcjowac, albo informować na kasie że czeka się godzinę w kolejce..

    A must see place in Katowice. Two levels of exploring. On first level you have art. On second level you can get familiar with history of the region and city of Katowice. Tickets: for normal 20zł, half price 17zł. Please reserve at least 2 hours for this place.

    Very good access by car to the museum, a large car park available and 4 hours of parking are free of charge. The needs of the disabled are anticipated. Service very nice and helpful. The museum itself is well equipped and modern. A place that definitely needs to be visited in Katowice.

    Beautiful modernization of the old mine in the center of Katowice. It hosts a blend of classic and modern art as well as the most interesting exhibition about the Silesian region and it's turbulent history throughout the ages.

    One of the coolest museums I've had the chance to tour. A lot of the information is written only in Polish, but I used image translation on my phone to read anything of interest. Incredible regional history surrounding the various people and resources that build Katowice. My favorite parts was the single-room sets showing historical periods. The exhibit lighting is professional and immersive.

    Fascinating museum, very well-made and informative. Plan at least 3 hours there: it took me an hour and a half just to walk round the historical part (bottom level). I would definitely go again. Discounts for students, teachers and seniors.

    (Translated by Google) Although I had the opportunity to visit the museum before the pandemic, I do not know how it is now. However, I remember that I had a great time at the exhibitions organized by the Silesian Museum. Another time we visited the museum during a concert and then the visit was a bit less successful, because some of the attractions were closed. Still, I would love to visit this place again! (Original) Co prawda miałam okazję odwiedzić muzeum przed pandemią, nie wiem, jak jest teraz. Pamiętam jednak, że świetnie się bawiłam na wystawach organizowanych przez Muzeum Śląskie. Innym razem odwiedziliśmy muzeum przy okazji koncertu i wtedy nieco mniej się wizyta udała, bo część atrakcji była zamknięta. Mimo to chętnie odwiedzę to miejsce ponownie!

A very nice and contrary to appearances simple museum to visit.

  • 4/5 Krzysztof O. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise for a museum. Some more organizational work but it's okay. The greatest impression was made by the exhibition on level -3 of the building, Silesian Uprisings, Plebiscite, II RP etc., well done and not overloaded with multimedia toys. It was interesting to see the mining buildings on the surface, if the elevator mechanism was still working and you could see some workshops inside it would be a complete happiness :) Nice restaurant, but unfortunately small. Tasty Silesian dishes. Either way, it's worth spending about three hours visiting this museum. (Original) Miłe zaskoczenie jak na Muzeum. Jeszcze trochę pracy nad organizacją ale jest dobrze. Największe wrażenie to wystawa na poziomie -3 budynku, Powstania Śląskie, Plebiscyt, II RP etc., dobrze zrobione i nie przeładowane ilością multimedialnych zabawek. Ciekawe było zobaczyć budynki pokopalniane na powierzchni, gdyby jeszcze działał pokazowo mechanizm windy i można było zobaczyć jakieś warsztaty w środku to byłaby pełnia szczęścia :) Mila restauracja choć niestety mała. Smaczne dania śląskie. Tak czy inaczej warto poświęcić ze trzy godziny za zwiedzenie tego Muzeum.

    (Translated by Google) The exhibits in the museum attract the attention of every visitor, even children are interested (they saw a toddler for the first time - it's actually a rarity on our streets). For someone from Silesia, a fantastic thing. For someone "from the outside", a very interesting history lesson about this ragion. (Original) Eksponaty w muzeum przyciągają uwagę każdego odwiedzającego, nawet dzieci są zainteresowane (pierwszy raz widziały malucha - na naszych ulicach to faktycznie już rzadkość). Dla kogoś ze śląska, fantastyczna sprawa. Dla kogoś "z zewnątrz" bardzo ciekawa lekcja historii o tym ragionie.

    (Translated by Google) I do not recommend the Silesian Museum to people who want to work there. Cronyism and extreme incompetence reign in this institution. Employees who have any work competences are effectively eliminated by their superiors. An employee is dismissed on the basis of gossip and slander without any substantive evaluation of his work. I do not recommend working in the technical department of this institution, the people managing it are extremely incompetent. I do not recommend (Original) Nie polecam Muzeum Śląskiego osobom które chcą tam podjąć pracę. W tej instytucji panuje kumoterstwo i skrajna niekompetencja. Pracownicy którzy mają jakiekolwiek kompetencje do pracy są skutecznie eliminowani przez przełożonych. Zwalnia się pracownika na podstawie plotek i pomówień bez żadnej oceny merytorycznej jego pracy. Nie polecam pracy w dziale technicznym tej instytucji, osoby nim zarządzające są skrajnie niekompetentne. Nie polecam

    (Translated by Google) The Battle of Grunwald makes an amazing impression. You need to reserve time for about 3-4 hours of visiting. At the end, my legs hurt a little, but it's worth it. (Original) Bitwa pod Grunwaldem robie niesamowite wrażenie. Trzeba zarezerwować czas na około 3-4 godziny ziwedzania. Pod koniec trochę bolą nogi, ale warto.

    Was a really cool experience! Lots of cool paintings and artifacts on the top level, and a whole walk through which goes through some of the history of the Śląski area on thr bottom level! Over all a fun exploration through some of Poland's history, my visit took a ball park 2 hours of time, plan for more or less if you come with a talkative friend or not :)

    Huge underground museum with interesting installations, art gallery, not that much of a mining history tho.

    Nice place of an old manufacture. In the underground buildings you can find restaurant, bathhouse and some other places of interest. The museum is situated on the high hill from which you can sea the city stadium, the centrum of the city and the highways. It has several manufacture buildings and son modern buildings situated beside.

    A must see. Very modern, opened a few years back. Impressive exhibition of art works and a tour through the history of Poland but especially of the area around Katowice.

    (Translated by Google) Underground parking closed, despite the sign - open until 20:30. Very disorganized cloakroom. They let people in despite the lack of free hangers - hence coats and jackets are stuffed into small, narrow lockers (like in a swimming pool) .. which makes them creased. The museum does not knock down, only the Katowice Mine saved the museum (exhibition light of history). (Original) Parking podziemny zamknięty, pomimo tabliczki - otwarty do 20:30. Bardzo niezorganizowana szatnia. Wpuszczaja osoby pomimo braku wolnych wieszakow - stąd plaszcze i kurtki upycha sie do małych, wąskich szafek (jak na basenie) ..przez co potem są pogniecione. Muzeum nie powala, uratowała muzeum tylko Kopalnia Katowice (wystawa światło historii).

    Odwiedziłam muzeum przed i w trakcie pandemii. Pracownicy sprzedają bilety jak leci, po wejściu okazuje się, że połowa wystaw jest albo zamknięta, albo za dużo ludzi jest na obiekcie i nie wejdziemy. Finalnie podobała mi się tylko wystawa z historią śląska. Minus za niezbyt częstą zmianę wystaw czasowych.

  • 5/5 K W. 2 years ago on Google
    Truly fantastic, unique museum based on the old coal mine site. Top architecture with amazing exposition, which will guide you through multicultural history of Silesia with respect to polish, german and czech colours of this region. I've been there already three times and I'll be back again.

  • 4/5 Maél L. 4 years ago on Google
    This museum includes an art gallery, a history museum, a viewing tower, and a couple of temporary exhibits. Not being an art lover, and being that the gallery was the first exhibit in the museum, I was afraid I was going to be disappointed. But the history exhibit was truly excellent. There were a lot of place names with which I was unfamiliar (being that I'm from the U.S.), but that didn't stop me from making sense of the history of Silesia. Nearly everything was well documented in English, Polish, and German. I spent almost three hours just in the history exhibit, plus another hour or two in the other areas. There are not a lot of seats or benches in the museum however, so be prepared for a lot of standing.

  • 4/5 Nor M. 5 years ago on Google
    Big museum. Lots of different kinds of art, from sculptures to paintings to costumes to installations. A bit expensive. Lots of staff walking around and sitting around, keeping an eye on everyone/everything. I got some cute coal earrings from the gift shop. The site of the museum was a coal mine back in the day. Good way to spend a few hours. All the printed information around the museum had an English translation, which was very nice. Free coat/bag check.

  • 4/5 Jamie D. 5 years ago on Google
    Well worth a visit. Good collection of art work and local history. Set in a former coal mine. Large place and a good couple of hours are needed at least. Local history section a highlight.

  • 5/5 Oakfriend 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place, full of Silesian history and culture. Very good temporary, focused exhibitions on different topics. Very good restaurant, with nice view on the city - but often crowded, so reservation in advance might be necessary. Overall - great place for both adults and children.

  • 5/5 Kacper C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an excellent regional museum. The exhibition is very modern and presents the history of Silesia in a unique and exciting way. You physically walk through the history of Silesia as you walk through the main exhibition. Almost all displays are in Polish, English and German and the translations are very accurate.

  • 5/5 Georgios K. 1 year ago on Google
    The Silesian museum is a state-of-the-art museum. Katowice must be proud of it. It is artistic and beautiful. Every exhibition is well-made, interesting and informative. I especially enjoyed the Silesian Gallery. It's definitely worth the ticket price. Recommended even if museums is not your thing

  • 5/5 Adam M. 1 year ago on Google
    It is really nice place. If you like painting, sculptures and some amazing arts come here and admire everything! Natural painted paintings are spectacular! I was stunned that people can paint that well. Also this is a very nice place to get to know how it was in Polish few years ago. Know about all of the things in Silesia. A lot of history things and facts. You can come with your family or friends ;)

  • 5/5 Dee-Aye A. 1 year ago on Google
    An interesting and must visit museum in Katowice. The exterior is already interesting but wait until you get inside Entrance fee is around 24pln and you can get it in the main hall. You will spend roughly 1.5 hours inside.

  • 5/5 Cathal D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic museum, with exhibitions for 29th century art, amateur art, history of Silesia and religious art. I sadly missed the religious art and had to rush through the last quarter of the Silesian history segment but I enjoyed what I saw. For the museum itself, 2-3 hours should be enough time, more on the 3 hour side if you like to take your time.

  • 4/5 Maciej P. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting place for young and old, there are a few tematical exhibitions on site both permanent and temporary ones. You can learn not only about history of the city and the region but also appreciate some art both local and from the whole country/ old and new. First 3h of parking are free on site, next hour is 5zl per hour. There is also a local version of monopoly on digital tables with up to 6 players.

    Very interesting museum with a rich and detailed exhibit of the history and culture of the region. The place really gives you a good understanding of Silesian heritage. Remember coins for the storage lockers!

    While recent modern exhibits include Vanities black & white photography exhibit, and the Głuza exhibit devoted to educating others about the history, obstacles, perspective and progress made in Poland's deaf community, you may want to head over to the Silesian Museum just for Moodro Bistro & Cafe. Aside from Nieinaczej Vegan Burgers and the always fantastic Vegan AF, Moodro may quite possibly offer what is at once the most delicious and aesthetically pleasing vegan brunch you will encounter outside of New York. While not exclusively vegan, Silesian Museum's Moodro has a great brunch offering that includes an amazing green smoothie (spinach) and a protein-packed green quinoa accompanied by avocado, greens, hummus and a gently boiled egg. They also have french toast and other fare. The pet-friendly restaurant has a decor that is leafy with hanging plants, cozy, and somehow modern and rustic all at once with its chunky wooden tables and panoramic floor to ceiling windows. Overall, Silesia Museum is great as a former mining site, and has a lot to offer. However, if you want to explore an underground mine, the nearest one is Guido in Zabrze. 10/10 for Moodro bistro 10/10 for Głuza exhibit 10/10 for a great "campus" with cool events in different buildings. Polecam

👍👍 It's a place to visit and check the mining part of town, made mostly of red bricks. Really stunning to see it in the 21st century and a must for every urbanist. Could be explored in half an hour, several buses are coming from Katowice or taxi is an option too.
