THE MINING MUSEUM OF OKD<br />
Ostrava - Petřkovice<br />
The largest mining museum in the Czech Republic is located at the foot of L<strong>and</strong>ek Hill, which is<br />
a world-renowned locality for geology, archeology, history, natural science <strong>and</strong> mining science. It has<br />
also become noted by the discovery of L<strong>and</strong>ek´s Venus. It is the only slender Venus in Europe.<br />
Collections of the original mining museum from 1905 <strong>and</strong> of Ostrava-Karviná´s mining since<br />
1782 to the present can be seen in the museum. Exhibitions of machinery, which is fully operative <strong>and</strong><br />
is displayed in operation, acquaint visitors with particular mining occupations. Original adits in seams<br />
named Albrecht <strong>and</strong> Fratišek (Francis) from the first half of the 19th century, which have been open to<br />
the public, offer an authentic view of mining beginnings. On their way to the mining exhibition visitors<br />
can stop in a typical miner´s tavern - “Harenda Barborka“, the interior of which is well-decorated<br />
with mining objects. A sports <strong>and</strong> recreational park, rope centre, bicycle path <strong>and</strong> children´s centre<br />
are parts of the museum.<br />
