Our Mine Museum shows a selection of the mine’s finest museum objects and you can calmly improve yourself a little extra in the mine’s rich and fascinating history, before taking a seat in the real mine.

 Our permanent collection includes artifacts from the almost the entire history of the mine. As an example, beautiful appliances from the Mine village – ceramic, silver ring, gold ring, drinking glasses and much more from the society during the 1500s grew up around the mine as the mining expanded. The museum’s largest and perhaps also the most exclusive items is king Carl XI’s barrel. The king descended Sala Silver Mine to a depth of 250 metres in this mine barrel in 1687. 

See also a horse sling from the early 1800s, as they hoisted down mining horses in.
 See also the artist Henry’s detailed model showing the people and environments at the Sala silver mine in the 1600′s. For children there is also a dark mine tunnel to get inside – maybe you can see the bats in the dark.




The Mine museum has free admission!

Welcome!
