Chimney Museum, Historical mining museum in Kubong, Labuan, Malaysia
The Chimney Museum displays a 32-meter tower constructed with 23,000 red bricks imported from the United Kingdom during the colonial period in Labuan.
The museum, established in 2002, documents the coal mining activities that took place from 1847 to 1911 under the British North Borneo Chartered Company.
Seven galleries and a discovery room present coal mining methods, tools, specimens, and the development of one of Malaysia's first railway systems.
Located at coordinates 5°22'50"N 115°14'56"E, the museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission and wheelchair accessibility.
Archaeological excavations revealed twelve brick layers beneath the chimney tower, which might have functioned as an optical telegraph system for incoming ships.
