From mine to smelter - KGHM without secrets in the innovative StereoVision 3D technology

An unusual exhibition presenting KGHM’s branches in the 3D technology is now on view at the Museum of Goldsmithing Art in Kazimierz Dolny. The copper mining company became a patron of the only facility in Poland presenting unique works made of precious metals, including silver and gold. KGHM is the world leader in silver production.

The recipe for moving to an underground city in the Copper Belt is very simple. All you have to do is visit Kazimierz Dolny, put on your 3D glasses, and explore the mine corridors’s and copper mining machinery and equipment and see what production looks like in the mine and the smelter.

The boards with photos shown in the exhibition were taken at the Polkowice Sieroszowice Mining Plant and the Głogów Copper Smelter. The photographs show KGHM’s process from drilling holes for explosive charges to smelting and finished copper, silver, and gold products. The attractions include a panorama of the Głogów Smelter taken from a drone.

The author of the pictures is Marek Saenderski, the author of the largest exhibitions of stereophotography in Europe and worldwide, as well as the creator of the new art of stereo-vision. A winner of the award for a three-dimensional Polish design accompanying the International Fashion Week Dubai.

The Museum of Goldsmithing Art in Kazimierz Dolny is the only museum of goldsmithing in Poland. The entire substantive activity of the museum - scientific, research, exhibition and educational - focuses exclusively on this art. The rich collection of historical and contemporary goldsmithing art shows a cross-section of Polish goldsmithing, including Catholic, Orthodox, and secular goldsmithing, as well as examples of goldsmithing from such European cities as Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Moscow, Nice, and Copenhagen.

KGHM is a global leader in mining. The company’s chief mineral is, of course, copper, but it is not the only one. The company is a world leader in silver production and produces nearly 3 tons of gold annually.
