The focus of the museum is the cultural history of the area and the adjacent areas, the industrialization of the 19th century with the mining and heavy-industrial history of the Upper Silesian industrial area and the history of the 20th century. Nowadays, the collection, preservation, research and mediation of the Upper Silesian cultural heritage is in the foreground in the sense of the European dialogue.
