In 1909, the Exhibition of Industry and Agriculture was held in Częstochowa. It was the largest event of its kind in the Polish lands before the the First World War. Within a few months, 660 exhibitors presented their products to about half a million visitors. A reminder of that exhibition is a few halls which can be seen in the Staszica Park at Jasna Góra.
"The Museum of Ore Mining in Częstochowa is one of the places in Poland where you can learn about traditional methods of mining iron ore in natural conditions. It is housed in the underground corridors hollowed out beneath the Częstochowa Stanisław Staszic Park. Besides the old
corridors, we can see specialized machinery and equipment. The opening of the exhibition took place in 2008. The museum is a branch of the Częstochowa Museum."
In the Jasna Góra Treasury in Częstochowa, there are
begging and thanksgiving offerings which were made to
Our Lady by pilgrims who have been visiting the shrine
from the late Middle Ages to modern times. Among the
votive offerings, we can see both masterpieces of art -
royal or papal gifts - and modest items bearing the
emotional value. The oldest ones are from the
fourteenth century.
Zdzislaw Beksiński is one of the most renowned Polish
artists of the second half of the twentieth century. His art
works can be found in numerous galleries and museums
around the world. One of the few places in Poland where
you can see dozens of the artist's works is Częstochowa,
namely the Museum of Zdzislaw Beksiński in the City Art
Gallery. The works presented here come from the
collection of the artist’s friends - Anna and Piotr
Dmochowski.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Jasna Góra is the most popular Polish Marian shrine and one of the most important in the world. In the monastery complex of the Pauline Fathers monastery, people venerate a Byzantine icon with the miraculous image of the Virgin and Child, which was brought to Częstochowa in the fifteenth century. The present buildings of the monastery are mainly from the seventeenth century and represent the Baroque style.
