Franci's shaft and operating building above it, was due to technical heritage in it changed into museum site for old machines, were they are ppreserved in better conditions. In lower two exhibition spaces 14 machines are set up, steam, diesel and battery driven. The best what Austrian, Bohemian and Italian marks could provide in late 19th and early 20th century. Exceptional specimen of technical heritage is Kley's pump. Steam piston machine made in Bohemian Škoda - Pilsen Works in year 1893, and is the biggest preserved steam machine in Slovenia and probably in Europe. Kley's pump was pumping water out the shafts for more than 50 years, until 1948.
