Chimney Museum, Historical mining museum in Kubong, Labuan, Malaysia

The Chimney Museum is a mining museum in Labuan built around a large brick tower. The tower was constructed during the colonial period using imported British bricks and stands as the museum's centerpiece, housing various exhibits about the region's mining past.

The museum documents coal mining activity that occurred from 1847 to 1911 under the British North Borneo Chartered Company. The tower was built during these mining boom years and reflects British colonial rule in the region.

The museum shows how coal mining shaped life in this region and what tools workers used every day. The displays give visitors a sense of how important this industry was for the island's economic development.

The museum opens every day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and charges no admission fee. The galleries and discovery room are inside the museum building; the 32-metre brick chimney stands outdoors on the former mining ground. The sources give no information on step-free access, so visitors with mobility difficulties should ask staff on arrival.

The tower's purpose was never confirmed: no document records what it did. Archaeologists who dug beneath it in 1997 found 12 layers of brick, and the same year the structure was stabilised and restored. A proposal links it to a semaphore station relaying ship movements to Victoria Harbour, but this remains unproven.
