Iwami Silver Mine Museum, History museum in Ōmori, Ōda, Japan.
The Iwami Silver Mine Museum displays mining artifacts, equipment, and documents that demonstrate silver extraction methods from the 16th to 20th centuries.
The museum, established in 1976, preserves the legacy of a mine that produced one-third of global silver during its peak in the 1500s.
This institution exhibits traditional mining tools, workers' clothing, and daily objects that reflect the lives of miners in the Edo period.
Visitors reach the museum by taking a 30-minute bus ride from Odashi Station, with guided tours available in English through advance reservation.
The museum contains geological samples and underground tunnel replicas that show the specific mining techniques developed at Iwami Ginzan.
