煤鄉礦工文史館, History museum in New Taipei, Taiwan.
The Taiwan Coal Mine Museum is a history museum in New Taipei that documents the regional mining industry. It displays equipment, photographs from different periods, and explanations of extraction methods along with how working conditions changed over time.
The museum stands at a site that began operating as a mining facility for the Ruisan Company around 1930 and continued extracting coal for approximately 60 years. Operations ceased in 1990 when coal mining in the region stopped.
The place honors the memory of miners who worked in difficult conditions to extract coal from the earth. Visitors can see personal belongings and tools that reflect the hardships of underground labor.
The museum is located near Shifen Station and opens daily except Mondays, with free admission for all visitors. Plan to spend time exploring the different exhibition areas and be ready to walk through multiple rooms.
The museum features a recreated mining shaft where visitors can observe the rock formations and techniques used during the time of active mining. This provides a direct sense of the underground environment where workers spent their days.
