NOVEMBER at the Slovak Mining Museum

The Slovak Mining Museum has put together a varied programme of events, exhibitions and educational activities for children, school groups and the general public this November.

One of the upcoming events is Science and Technology Week – Science is Art, which will take place from 17 to 20 November at Kammerhof. The programme will show pupils how modern technologies and artificial intelligence can breathe new life into the works of art by Jozef Kollár. It will feature creative and interactive demonstrations that bridge the world of art with the latest technological possibilities.

History enthusiasts will also enjoy the lecture ‘The History of Coal Mining in the Austro-Hungarian Empire’, which will take place on 18 November at 3.00 pm at Kammerhof. The museum’s historian, Lukáš Patera, will present the development of coal mines in Hungary during a period when outdated operations gradually transformed into modern and prosperous mining enterprises.

For families with children, ‘Craft Saturday’ has been organised, taking place on 14 November from 9.30 am to 3.30 pm at the Kammerhof. Visitors will be able to create original Christmas decorations, painted wooden nativity scenes and wooden moving toys, as well as try their hand at making felt decorations.

Throughout November, visitors can also explore the museum through the ‘Playful at the Museum’ programme. The Playful Open-Air Museum, the Playful Old and New Castles, and Kammerhof offer the chance to discover the exhibitions using treasure hunt maps and fun tasks.

November: a month of exhibitions and artistic experiences

The November programme also features exhibitions that showcase the beauty of the visual arts and the richness of our historical heritage.

At the Old Castle, visitors have a final chance to see the exhibition ‘Leonardo’s Last Supper’. This unique reconstruction of the famous work, created by the academic painter Stanislav Lajda, offers a unique insight into one of the most famous paintings in the history of art.

We invite lovers of minerals and geology to Kammerhof, where the Open Repository of the Mineralogical Collection is open to the public. Here, they can admire more than 7,000 specimens from the geological and mineralogical collection, including rare exhibits that were damaged in the fire at the Berggericht.
