The exhibition Las Salinas Wieliczka en Polonia is on display in Cardona, Spain. The exhibition consists of 30 panels full of amazing photographs and graphics, prepared in Spanish and English. Its aim is to spread knowledge about the Cracow Saltworks Museum Wieliczka and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. In this way, we want to present the history, significance, beauty and resources of the museum, as well as the possibility to visit these extraordinary places.
The exhibition presents the history of the Wieliczka Salt Mine, covering:
- The geology of the salt deposit and the beauty of Wieliczka salt
- Salt brewing, developing in Wieliczka from 3500 BC to the 16th century
- Rock salt extraction from the 13th to the 20th century
- Development of the mining enterprise and salt trade
- Historical and technological landmarks of the mine
- The Saltworks Castle and its functions
- Establishment of the Cracow Saltworks Museum and its activities
- Present-day functions of the Wieliczka Salt Mine, including the development of tourism and underground therapeutics
- Wieliczka as an attractive tourist town
We hope that the exhibition will encourage tourists from Spain and other countries to visit the Museum and to stay longer in Wieliczka. The exhibition will also be an excellent showcase for Poland, presenting our achievements in the field of historic preservation.

With the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage within the framework of the Culture Inspiring 2024-2025 Programme.
