- The August 5th English tour was added just for us and I got a ticket for a couple of us! Nemo (talk) 20:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a safety concern for this activity since recent earthquake rocked a nearby mine? OhanaUnited (talk) 04:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm no expert but I think the museum knows what they're doing so they'll close it if there's any risk. This mine closed over 60 years ago, I'd expect it had time to settle down. It might be affected by subsidence from other underground operations nearby, but if I read fig. 4 of doi:10.1007/s40789-022-00541-w correctly Zabrze is outside the areas confirmed to be affected by subsidence in the 1992–2012 period. If there are concerns I can try to ask for additional information. Nemo (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
