Coal mine museum Valkenburg, Mining museum in Valkenburg, Netherlands
Located in an old marl cave system, this underground museum features authentic mining equipment and machinery from former Dutch coal mines.
The museum opened in 1917 as a model coal mine to show visitors mining operations since actual working mines were too dangerous for public access.
Former miners guide visitors through underground tunnels, sharing personal experiences and demonstrating traditional coal extraction methods from the Limburg mining region.
The museum offers regular tours lasting 75 minutes, with mandatory reservations required for groups of 20 or more visitors throughout the entire year.
The museum displays a 185-centimeter Mosasaurus jawbone alongside mining artifacts and fossil collections from the Cretaceous and Carboniferous periods.
