Summary/Abstract: Last farmers in the industrial part of Upper Silesia is a research project of the Museum „Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park in Chorzów” implemented in the cities of Katowice and Piekary Śląskie in 2012–2014. The researches were conducted in selected traditional farms. Currently living farmers residing and working in an urban landscape of the central part of Silesia are particularly exposed to harsh neighborhood of newly constructed housing estates of both single- or multi-family character. Unfortunately, this coexistence results in gradual disappearance of the original farming. As a consequence of the researches an ethnographic exhibition was organized in the Museum from June to December 2015.
