Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli “Wieliczka”) hosts Magnum Sal 2026 in Wieliczka, Poland, on 31 October 2026. The concert brings the 71st Krakow All Souls Jazz Festival underground, placing two named works in the mine’s Warsaw Chamber.
Magnum Sal brings jazz to the Wieliczka Salt Mine on 31 October
The operator lists Magnum Sal 2026 as a concert in the Warsaw Chamber on 31 October 2026. The programme includes Witkacy MultiArt by Leszek Kulakowski and Ananke by Marek Stryszowski, with the Representative Brass Orchestra of the Wieliczka Salt Mine also taking part.
The operator lists the start at 6pm. Its event information presents the evening as the prologue of the 71st Krakow All Souls Jazz Festival, linking the 2026 concert with an earlier performance of Stryszowski’s suite at the mine during Word Art Underground in 1995. The operator’s programme listing carries the date, venue and participating works.
The Warsaw Chamber connects the concert with mine history
The event’s setting is part of the visitor experience that distinguishes the site from a conventional concert hall. The Warsaw Chamber is one of the underground spaces used by the mine, so the programme places jazz, visual art and spoken or literary elements within a historic extraction landscape.
UNESCO describes the Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines as a serial World Heritage property in southern Poland. Rock salt has been mined there since the thirteenth century, and the underground complex contains galleries, chapels, works of art and statues carved in salt.
The same heritage record says an underground tourist route has existed since the early nineteenth century. That history gives the 31 October programme a direct connection with the site: visitors attend a contemporary cultural event inside a landscape shaped by centuries of mining. The UNESCO heritage record places the mine within the wider royal salt-mining property.
What the 31 October programme includes underground
Magnum Sal 2026 is not a regular guided-tour entry or a recurring daily activity. It is a named concert with a fixed date, a stated chamber and a programme built around two music and art presentations.
The event also reflects the mine’s role as a cultural venue. The operator’s description connects the concert with the 71st edition of the Krakow All Souls Jazz Festival and identifies the mine’s own brass orchestra among the participants. Those details place the evening within both the festival programme and the institution’s continuing cultural activity.
