Museum Uranbergbau, Mining museum in Bad Schlema, Germany.

The Museum Uranbergbau occupies two floors of the Kulturhaus Aktivist, an L-shaped neoclassical building with a granite base at Bergstraße 22. Its roughly 700 square metres hold about 2,000 exhibits on uranium mining and the radium spa, including a large working model of the mine with its underground workings. A boulder-loaded mine cart on the B 169 marks the approach.

The Kulturhaus Aktivist was built from 1952 to 1953 by the SDAG Wismut as a leisure and cultural centre for its miners. After the Wismut wound down, the town took over the building, and on 22 July 1996 the Traditionsstätte des sächsisch-thüringischen Uranerzbergbaus opened here during the 8th Deutscher Bergmannstag in Schneeberg. Two floors were converted into a museum on uranium mining in the GDR and on the radium spa history of Oberschlema.

The museum displays artworks and personal items from former miners, offering insights into how workers lived during the mining era. These objects show the daily reality of those who labored underground.

The museum is located in the Kulturhaus Aktivist building in central Bad Schlema and is easily accessible on foot. Guided tours can be arranged upon request, which helps visitors better understand the technical and personal stories behind the exhibits.

The Kulturhaus Aktivist building that houses the exhibition was itself a gathering place for workers during the mining era and held cultural importance for the community. Today it stands as a symbol of how a place has transformed its function while preserving its past.
