HISTORICAL MUSEUM

An exceptional museum not to be missed in Katowice. Divided into three main sections, it is dedicated to the history of the city and its inhabitants. In Nikiszowiec, there is a particularly interesting section of the museum dedicated to the urban ethnography of Upper Silesia. A large collection of objects tells about the everyday life of the working class, especially miners, from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. There is also a reproduction of a typical working-class dwelling in the region, and a collection of naive art paintings.
