In addition to the classic exhibits, the history of mining and the importance of Smolník will also be presented through modern audio-visualization technologies, 3D visualizations (Fig. 1) and holographic images (WEIS et al., 2016). The exhibition spaces and surroundings will also be used for the activities of educational projects, which will be aimed at schoolchildren and the young generation in general.
