Historical settlement exhibition

Located near the central car park, the exhibition displays an example of the historical dwelling with a fireplace from the times of the first Landek settlements 23,000 years ago which was back up by the discovery of the Venus of Landek (Petřkovice) in the 1950s. This was the first documented place of black coal use, which is geologically proven by the rarity of coal seam with 12m extension above the surface.
