Short tour "Did you know?": Real guys - masculinity(s) and body cult in artistic depictions of mining
Naked upper bodies, swelling muscles: there are still “real guys” in the “Art” tour of the permanent exhibition. However, why this is more of an ideal than reality, what health has to do with identity and why climbers used to wear wasp waists - all this is explored in this short guide.

Short tour “Did you know?”: Humpback mines – mining in your backpack
Manufactured with painstaking detail work, miniature mines are real small works of art. But why did miners go to all this trouble in earlier times, and why are such boxes also called humpback mines? In the "Art" tour, this edition of "Did you know?" leads to the filigree handicrafts.
