The Mungyeong Coal Museum exhibits the history of coal and explains its important contribution to Korea's rapid industrialization.
Systematic exhibition of coal and related information helps visitors understand the vital role that coal has played in shaping modern life.
The museum displays coal-related relics in addition to scholarly materials. The museum offers various exhibition halls: the Central Exhibition Hall (1F-2F), Outdoor Exhibition Hall, Mine Exhibition Hall, and Miner’s Private House Exhibition Hall.
Though coal, one of Korea’s few natural resources, used to be the driving force of the Korean industry and economy, it has become less visible due to the emergence of oil and natural gas.
The museum helps visitors appreciate this forgotten resource as well as the lives of miners in Mungyeong, once one of the most productive coalfields in Korea. Structure Size
