The Mineralogical and Mining Museum presents a number of exhibits on geological and mining history and minerals. The new permanent exhibition explores the many facets of our region, which has been mining asbestos since 1876. Testimonies, minerals, mining objects and huge archive photographs take you on a journey through the lives of local people and the richness of the region, from yesterday to tomorrow. Marvel at the shapes, colors, crystals and more than 350 minerals from around the world.

The King Mine Historical Center | KB3 offers a memorable experience in real, restored mining buildings. The program includes an immersive tour using real mining equipment and highlights the hard work of several generations of mining industry workers.
