Bergbaumuseum Klagenfurt, Mining museum in Klagenfurt, Austria
The Bergbaumuseum occupied a 500-meter tunnel system within Kreuzbergl hill, displaying geological specimens, mining equipment, and historical artifacts across 3000 square meters.
Founded in 1973 as a private institution, the museum operated in a former World War II air raid shelter that previously served as a radio broadcasting station.
The museum emphasized the social aspects of mining life through photographs and personal objects rather than focusing solely on technical mining equipment.
The museum closed permanently in November 2015 due to operating costs of 500,000 euros annually exceeding the revenue generated from visitors.
The mineralogy section contained notable Wulfenite crystals from Bleiberg, first documented by Franz Xaver von Wulfen in 1785.
