Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine

The complex connects mining technology with the homes, schools and working conditions of the communities that supported the industry.

The black-and-white photograph shows an earlier underground view. Check the seasonal operating calendar and current tour arrangements before arriving. Underground temperatures are cool, and route or mobility requirements should be discussed in advance. Follow the guided experience and staff instructions; group visits and other facilities in the wider museum complex have their own arrangements.
