Amidst stunning views of the old Concha II mine, the Basque Country Mining Museum (Abanto-Zierbena) houses one of the largest collections of mining tools collected from mountains and factories over the years.
The museum functions as a space where different educational processes take place. Its main social mission is to facilitate physical and intellectual access to the objects it displays and their meanings , and this mediating role can occur in many different ways: some more academic and others more informal, some more intellectual and others more emotional, some mandatory and others voluntary, depending on the intentions and needs of the different types of visitors.
Therefore, the team at the Basque Country Mining Museum aims to communicate, inform, and motivate learning through the various cultural activities it offers. In this way, visitors are immersed in the world of memories and experiences that have shaped the lives of many people who directly or indirectly depended on mining, making it a truly unique experience.
