On the last Saturday of August, the Mining Museum Mayrau in Vinařice hosts the 7th edition of the minerals and fossils fair. At the sales tables you will find samples of minerals and fossils from various vendors.

About the venue: Hornický skanzen Mayrau

The Mayrau Mining Open-Air Museum in Vinařice near Kladno occupies the site of a former coal mine, sunk by the Prague Iron Company from 1874. It is a branch of the Sládečkovo Regional Museum in Kladno and operates on the concept of the "last working day" - the premises look as though the miners left only yesterday. The tour takes visitors from the guild room through the chain-locker changing rooms and lamp room to the shaft buildings. Three original winding engines survive on site; the Art Nouveau Ringhoffer steam engine from 1905 is demonstrated in motion.
