Giszowiec
The afore-mentioned Gawlikówka at Plac Pod Lipami 3 is also worth a quick visit; if Gawlik’s canvases of rural Silesian life capture your interest, here you can pick up a map of all the places you'll find them hidden in the district. Curiously enough, the largest collection is inside a tiny hairdresser at ul. Pod Kasztanami 34, the interior of which also makes it a bit of a museum in more ways than one. All told, Giszowiec stills captures some small town charm, despite being a shadow of what it must have been. If you enjoy the small pleasures of being a stranger in a strange land, an excursion out to these two historic labour communities might just be the bizarre highlight of your time in Silesia.
