Abstract
There is different knowledge and a comprehensive realized survey of mining locations in Slovakia. Many areas of mine have a big potential which may be used not only at the local level, but extended beyond district or region borders. One of those locations is Smolník where the exploitation was ended in 1989 and miners became unemployed. The work based on geographical and mining survey maps and sums up a database of information on well-preserved and closed mining workings. According to the unique historic mining map made in 1748 the 3D model of mining workings was created which can be applied as a browser on the interactive touch PC screen. The finds of mining artefacts with educational videos and the 3D model were displayed and installed in the exposition of the Slovak national mining museum. They can be used for publicity and educational purposes to help people understand the complexity, geometry and operation of mining underground activities. Moreover they support a space imagination of visitors effectivelly.
