Mining museum of Pernik

Located 50 meters underground in the former Temelko Nenkov mine, this museum features 630 meters of preserved mining galleries and industrial equipment.

The site marks the location of Bulgaria's first mining operation in 1891, which remained active until 1966 before its transformation into a museum in 1986.

The museum exhibits document the evolution of mining techniques and working conditions through original artifacts, equipment, photographs, and interactive displays.

Museum tickets are available at the regional history museum nearby, with parking facilities directly in front of the entrance in Krasno selo quarter.
