Mining History Museum in Rudabánya

 

The exhibition takes visitors through the earliest history of domestic mining to the present practices and situation. The building features one of the largest exhibitions of minerals in the country, as well as a replica of the remains of an ancient Rudapithecus hungaricus ape found nearby. The man-made underground tunnel showroom displays the most common mining methods and safety equipment. A complete miner’s forge has also been constructed here.
