Thingbæk Kalkminer, Limestone mine museum in Rebild, Denmark.

Underground tunnels house a collection of plaster figures and sculptures, showcasing the geological formations of bryozoan chalk deposits.

The mining operation started in 1926 when Anders Bundgaard and his son Christian established formal extraction activities that continued until 1939.

The museum displays original artworks by sculptors Anders Bundgaard and Carl Johan Bonnesen within the limestone cave system.

The mine maintains a constant temperature of 8 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring warm clothing.

From October to April, the mine tunnels serve as winter habitat for 600 to 900 bats representing six different species.
