Traveler reviews
Alex Spa
★★★★★2 years agoReally a great experience, with interesting exhibitions and explanations. My favorite was definitely the part about the NYH Gummi-Waaren Compagnie, but also the special exhibition “Man and Mining”. It can be a bit noisy in some areas due to the many workshops taking place, but the visit is really worth it. Don't miss the giant cutting wheel of the tunnel boring machine outside, incredible piece.
Marlien Rietveld-Schmidt
★★★★★2 years agoInteresting museum with well thought out commentary on global social injustice. If you have the chance to go see the man and mining exhibition, absolutely do! The museum is also suitable for kids, ages 8 and up.
