Preparation of additional scenes in the outer part of the museum

6. 2. 2012 We are preparing three new scenes in the museum park in addition to already existing scenes in the aboveground part of the museum. The first scene will show the old way of wooden supports and milestones in the development of coal mining activities in the Šalek Valley compared to the technological and artistic achievements in the world. Another scene will represent the technology of supporting the mine tunnels with steel arch supports, and the third scene will show the development of the coal industry through the development and existence of the shafts. In the interior we will establish a basic scene from the underground part where Anton Aškerc, famous Slovenian poet, takes us through the story of the coal mining. In the end visitors will see a movie about the Velenje coal mining method.

You can also see the history of the Velenje Coal mine, a miner's apartment before the year 1930, the Black wardrobe, the bathroom, a legend of the jump over the leather apron, a museum shop and gallery in the White wardrobe. We will establish a new collection of measurement and geodetic devices.
