Centre of Metallurgy Tradition in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski
The Centre of Metallurgy Traditions in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski showcases the metallurgical heritage of the city and region. The exhibition occupies two floors of the former Factory Cultural Centre of the Marcelego Nowotki Metallurgical Works and combines traditional elements – scale models, replicas, and historical artifacts – with interactive features: multimedia tables, touch panels, projectors, educational games, and audio-visual players.
The permanent exhibition spans two thousand years of history, illustrating industrial activity in the Kamienna River Valley – successive stages in the development of Świętokrzyskie metallurgy, charcoal production, and railways. A dedicated section covers four centuries of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski's history: the city's past, culture, sports, economy, and notable figures.
The Centre is located on the second floor of the building at Aleja 3 Maja 6. Tickets can be purchased at the OBK reception (Monday–Friday, 8.00–15.00), at the Etiuda cinema box office on ul.
