Explore a Swedish Mine

A permanent exhibition at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, “The Mine” tells the story of Swedish mining, from circa 1100 A.D. to 1960. The exhibition is a recreation of an historic mine in Sweden, which, for the visitor, simulates the experience of being in a real mine—it is dimly lit, with narrow walkways and strange noises, and dirty miners sometimes appear through the darkness.
