Nyvångs gruvmuseum, Working life museum in Åstorp Municipality, Sweden.
Nyvångs Gruvmuseum occupies a former machine hall and displays tools, equipment, and personal items from Sweden's largest coal mining operation. The collection includes geological specimens and educational materials that explain mining techniques and industrial processes.
The Nyvång coal mine began operations in 1907 and closed in 1966 after shaping the region for six decades. The end of mining brought significant changes to the local economy and community.
The exhibits show photographs and objects that document how miners and their families lived over many decades. Reconstructed rooms and kitchens give visitors a glimpse into the daily routines and home life of the mining community.
A visit allows you to see firsthand how mining work was carried out and what challenges it involved. Wear comfortable shoes as the visit includes walking through several exhibition areas.
A 1934 film shows actual footage of miners at work in the mine. This rare visual record allows visitors to see historical working methods and conditions as they truly were.
