Muzeum Saturn

This unique building houses the Saturn Museum. It is a pre-war, neoclassical villa, designed in the style of a Polish manor with a gable roof. It was built by the "Saturn" Mining and Industry Society - hence the name. It was the office of the director of the "Saturn" mine, which had been operating in Czeladź for over a hundred years.

The wonderful surroundings add to the charm of this place: an intimate park designed by an outstanding planner and pomologist Stefan Celichowski. Inside, the former living quarters were turned into exhibition halls and administrative rooms of the museum. The most impressive is the Mirror Room, preserved in the original and decorated with refined paneling. Today it hosts meetings, conferences and concerts. Among others, those during the already famous Musical Fridays of the Museum. Two ceramic fireplaces are also worth paying attention to: in the hall and the Fireplace Room, and the Oak Room - with a wooden beam ceiling and decorative details.

The museum itself is quite a young institution. It was established in 2009 in place of the Chamber of Tradition in Czeladz, which had existed since 2003. Its most important task is to protect the cultural heritage and preserve the memory of mining traditions in Czeladź. The facility fulfills it perfectly.

The "Elektrownia" Contemporary Art Gallery functions in the museum, in the former mine power plant, which highlights the mining past of this place. Its attraction is, among other things, a well-preserved machine park, where the great attraction is the effective "Wanda" flywheel. Since 2012, concerts and exhibitions have been held here. The Saturn Museum also has collections on the nearly 800-year history of Czeladź.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Project partners

Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.

Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
