Falun Mine, Mining museum in Falun, Sweden
The Falun Mine Museum features extensive exhibitions about copper mining techniques, tools, and regional geology within preserved timber buildings from the 17th century.
The copper mine operated continuously from the 10th century until 1992, producing two-thirds of Europe's copper during its peak production period.
The museum displays demonstrate the daily routines of miners, their medical care practices, and the social structures that developed around the mining operations.
Guided tours in multiple languages take visitors through the underground tunnels, exhibition halls, and restored mining facilities throughout the year.
The copper from Falun Mine covered the roof of Palace of Versailles, demonstrating the international reach of this Swedish industrial center.
