Walk the labyrinthine passages, marvel at the chapels and chambers, and be wowed by the statues and art installations of the mine. See how salt was extracted as you learn about the space's history. Pause to listen to the unique acoustic properties which come from the nature of the space. Hear how Chopin sounds in this environment, accompanied by spectacular underground lighting.
