Railway. Industry nervous system
The presentation will showcase selected, model industrial objects from the historical Silesia region with extensive historical railway sidings. The objects were selected not only for their historical significance but also for the relationship between the facility and the railway, which enabled its functioning. The theme was chosen due to the common perception of railways as something abstract, separate, and inherently valuable, rather than as a functional system facilitating the operation of other systems.
