The Europa Nostra European Heritage Hub is one of the largest cultural heritage projects supporting green, social and digital transformation. The organization is once again looking for local good practices in this area to promote ten selected examples. Last year, the Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze was included in this list with its project “Preservation of the cultural heritage of Silesian industry via the creation of digital artifacts”. It was the only project from Central and Eastern Europe to be recognized.
