Through hardships to the stars. Where heavy labor, concrete, and steel once reigned, accordion melodies will sound and fine art will shine this Sunday, August 16. Prepare for an evening where raw industrial atmosphere blends with pure aesthetics and an unforgettable night view from the highest point in the region.
We invite you to a unique evening event, Art Under the Stars, taking place right on the roof of the 85-meter-tall František Headframe!
What Can You Look Forward To?
Forget about quiet, sterile galleries. We make culture in a raw environment:
- Exhibition Opening / Vernissage (from 6:30 PM): Browse a rich exhibition of paintings, graphics, and art pieces created in cooperation with the Pavel Kaleta Art School from Český Těšín.
- French Chansons in the Clouds: The ruggedness of the reinforced concrete skeleton will resound with live French chanson melodies played on the accordion.
- Nighttime Silesia from 85 Meters: Experience evening and nighttime views of the illuminated landscape from a breathtaking height. The perfect way to wrap up your Sunday evening in style.

Action Protocol for Visitors (Important Info)
To ensure everyone enjoys the evening to the fullest and stays safe, please pay close attention to the following rules:
- Moving Around the Tower: Getting to the 9th floor involves 385 steps, followed by another 60 steps from the 9th floor to the roof. It will give you a bit of a workout, but the view at the top is worth every bit of effort!
- Dress Code: You are visiting an industrial facility. Leave your high heels at home and opt for comfortable footwear and sporty clothing.
- Elevator (Limited Capacity): For those unable to climb the stairs due to medical reasons, an elevator is available (running up to the 9th floor). However, capacity is strictly limited, and the elevator must be reserved in advance by phone with Mr. Marek Chwistek, BC. at +420 596 425 515 (weekdays 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM).
- Wheelchair Accessibility: The facility is currently not fully wheelchair accessible—the final ascent from the 9th floor to the roof is accessible via stairs only.
Come soak in an unforgettable atmosphere where history meets art and the night sky. We look forward to seeing you at the tower!
