Muzeum Śląskie
Katowice
Siedziba Muzeum Śląskiego znajduje się na zrewitalizowanym poprzemysłowym terenie dawnej kopalni „Katowice”. Koncepcja architektoniczna nawiązuje do przemysłowej historii Śląska i pierwotnej funkcji terenu pokopalnianego. Zakłada niewielką ingerencję w poprzemysłowy krajobraz, dlatego większa część zaprojektowanego kompleksu znajduje się pod ziemią. Przeszklone bryły harmonizują z zespołem zabytkowych budynków, spośród których duża część została zbudowana jeszcze w XIX wieku.

The Castle in Toszek
Toszek
Originally, at the time of the Piast dynasty, the castle of Toszek was a wooden and earthen structure. We do not know its exact origins, but it probably dates back to the tenth or eleventh century. Duke Przemysław, who ruled here in the fifteenth century, built a brick building. Later, at the end of the sixteenth century, a Renaissance mansion erected here. The castle, which burned down in 1811, was partly rebuilt in the 60s of the last century. Today, the castle houses the cultural center named "Castle in Toszek".
