The wealth of Transylvania is hidden under the mountain ranges of the Carpathians: Archaeological finds show that gold and other non-ferrous metals were mined in addition to silver and salt as early as pre-Christian times. In the 13th century, the Hungarian king settled German miners here to dig up the natural resources. Since the 18th century &#8211; Transylvania is now part of the Austrian crown &#8211; the coal and steel industry has been systematically expanded and modernized with machine technology.<\/p>\n<p>With the mining of gold and silver, artisans also move to Transylvania. The products of the Transylvanian goldsmiths are in great demand all over Europe.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, the exhibition showed the development of mining from the 16th to the 18th century using maps and drawings from the mining archive. More than a hundred goldsmith works from this period illustrated the high art of the Transylvanian craftsmen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;221923&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; <a class=\"btn btn-link read-more\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/portfolio\/silver-and-salt-in-transylvania\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":107610,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[291],"class_list":["post-109612","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-special-exhibitions-archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/109612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109612"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/109612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116543,"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/109612\/revisions\/116543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dzm-museum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=109612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
