ITALY 

CENACOLA MILAN

LAST SUPPER - the world-known painting of Leonardo da Vinci you can see in this museum. It was painted in dangerous times, many little wars were going on and there were many thieves. So Leonardo was asked to paint this picture as Fresca on the wall to make sure that nobody could take it away. This painting was almost destroyed in an earthquake but it survived. The biggest problem now is the time because Leonardo used a new method and the panting is fading away. Leonardo used perspective and when you watched his painting with Jesus´disciples on the wall, you can think that they are sitting in the same room with you.

WIELICZKA SALT MINE MUSEUM

40 talented Czech pupils visited the salt mine museum in Wieliczka in Poland. This museum is very closed to the border and Ostrava is close to the border too, so the trip takes about 2 hours there. It is one of the most popular museums in Poland, it is the cultural heritage. It is very deep. You can see how the stone salt was dug out many years ago. The miners made statues from salt and even a whole church with the altar. Children can try to mine the salt in the old way. It is quite dark and narrow down there.

It's a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and chambers – about 300km distributed over nine levels, the deepest being 327m underground and only a little part which takes 2 hours is open to tourists. There are 9 floors. First-time visitors take a standard 'tourist' route of the main sights, while return visitors can choose for a more-immersive 'miners' route.

On the 3rd floor, there is the Krakow Salt Work museum with much interesting information. The most beautiful is the King´s hall decorated with furniture, chandeliers, and things curved from salt stones.
