Backdrop with impressive effect
The "Slate Cave" as an atmospheric world of knowledge
You are now at a depth of 500 metres. As soon as you step out of the mine lift after your exciting descent, you can't help but be amazed. In front of you is the slate cave, elaborately designed by a group of freelance artists and stage designers. The large, dark vault looks so realistic that you have the feeling it is real.
Huge slate pillars seem just able to support the massive ceiling. Above them lie thousands of tonnes of rock and earth. Light installations strongly set the stage for the artificial stone formations. Let the fascinating atmosphere take effect on you.
The slate cave is one of the highlights of your visit to the museum. But it is not only visually impressive. The multimedia exhibits also arouse your interest. At numerous vertical water columns you can test for yourself howCO2 dissolves in water. You are welcome to try it out!
