Map of Cavnic: Mining Museum

The Cavnic Mining Museum was set up in 2003 by the Zalaegerszeg Oil Museum in Hungary, to introduce visitors to the mysteries of mining and to tell stories about two renowned geologists Born and Papp born in Cavnic. Few have heard of Born Ignác (1742-1791) who became famous for ore research, and Bornita bears his name. His method of metal-silver extraction has become recognized throughout Europe, and the cherry on the cake Mozart dedicated to him the song Die Mauerfreude, and he is animated in the character of Sarastro in the Flute.
Geologist Dr. Papp Simon (1886-1970) had an important role in developing the technology for oil extraction. His experiences in Albania, Asia Minor, New Guinea, Canada, USA, Germany were shared with his colleagues. The museum presents 45 photos, documents, the statue of Papp Simon, tools flower mines and the bust of Born Ignác.
