Taiwan Coal Mine Museum, Mining museum in Pingxi District, Taiwan.
The Taiwan Coal Mine Museum contains exhibits of mining tools, machinery, and photographs that document the industrial development of coal extraction in the region.
The museum opened in 2001 on the grounds of the New Pingxi Mine, which operated from 1967 until 1997 when competition from imported coal ended operations.
The museum preserves the industrial heritage through exhibitions of mine locomotives, mining equipment, and educational programs about the mining community's daily life.
Located within walking distance from Shifen Station, the museum welcomes visitors from 09:30 to 17:00, with last admission at 16:00.
A 140-meter rock mountain formed from decades of mining waste stands on the site, with part of it collapsing in 2005 due to insufficient vegetation.
