Bergbaumuseum, Knappenberg, Mining museum in Knappenberg, Austria.
The museum occupies a former mining house from 1873, featuring extensive mineral displays and mining equipment across multiple exhibition spaces.
Iron ore extraction in Knappenberg continued until 1978, after which the site transformed into a public museum displaying 2500 years of mining history.
The museum exhibits include artistic figures by Helga Riedel depicting mining traditions and regional customs through detailed scenes and local narratives.
