Greed and passion characterise the history of mining. Greed for ore that has driven us humans into the mountains for thousands of years. Wealth and power, but also the exploitation of nature and people are its consequences. We feel passion because mining has merged with the life, society and culture of the region. It is the driving force behind inventions, the starting point for science, identity and traditions.

Go underground! The guided tour through the exhibition Silberglanz & Kumpeltod reveals the dark secrets of the miners from the Bronze Age to the 21st century.
