COAL MINING MUSEUM OF THE OSTRAVA AND KARVINÁ COLLIERIES
(Pod Landekem Street, Ostrava-Petřkovice)
- Opened in 1993, the museum houses the collections of the former coal-mining museum (established in 1905) and contains permanent exhibitions on the primeval settlement at Landek and the development of the Ostrava and Karviná mining industry from 1782 up to the present. One mine shaft is open to the public. The site was designed by Viennese architects between 1890 and 1915 and is an example of the typical local red-brick style with its use of facade decorations. Nearby is the Landek archaeological site.
