Göhltalmuseum

Göhltalmuseum, Regional mining museum in Kelmis, Belgium.

Gohltalmuseum is a regional museum in Kelmis dedicated to the history of zinc mining. The collection includes mineral specimens, mining machinery, tools, and documents from the Vieille-Montagne mine, showing how this industry operated over many decades.

The Geuldalmuseum was founded in 1984 by a local historical society together with the municipality of Kelmis. It occupied the former director's residence of the Vieille-Montagne zinc mine and displayed objects relating to Neutral Moresnet and to zinc extraction. It closed in 2017 and was replaced in September 2018 by the Museum Vieille Montagne, housed in the company's former administrative building inside the quarry beside the old Kelmis station.

The place shows how mining shaped daily life and work for people in this region over generations. The objects on display tell stories of the workers and families who depended on zinc extraction for their living.

The museum closed in 2017; its collection moved in September 2018 to the Museum Vieille Montagne, housed in the former administrative building of the zinc company inside the quarry beside the old Kelmis station. Visitors looking for the Göhltalmuseum should head there instead. The former director's house, a pale yellow two-storey building with a red tiled roof and a glass porch, stands behind a grey stone wall and low iron gate.

The museum occupied the former director's house of the Vieille-Montagne zinc mine, not the company's administrative building. It closed in 2017 and was replaced in September 2018 by the Museum Vieille Montagne, housed in the old management building inside the quarry beside the former Kelmis station.
