Los koboltgruva, Mining museum in Los, Sweden.
The Los Kobolt Mine features underground tunnels extending through multiple levels, showcasing original mining equipment and mineral formations from the 18th century.
The mine operated from 1730 to 1773, where workers extracted cobalt for producing blue pigments used in glass and porcelain manufacturing across Europe.
In 1751, scientist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt discovered the element nickel while examining ore samples from the Los mine, marking a significant scientific advancement.
The mine offers guided tours lasting 50 minutes, with limited wheelchair access available in certain sections of the underground passages.
The facility maintains its original 18th-century mining environment, allowing visitors to experience the exact conditions miners faced during the Swedish industrial period.
