Excursion 4: DBM (German Mining Museum)

The German Mining Museum in Bochum (DBM) is the most important mining museum in the world and a highly acclaimed research institute for the history of mining and metallurgy. It has about 400,000 visitors annually and is one of the most visited museums in Germany.

Exhibits above ground, and a fascinating insight mine underneath the museum grounds, offer the visitor a glimpse into the world of mining. Additionally the viewing platform on top of the headgear offers a fantastic view over Bochum and the Ruhr region.

The two main scientific research areas are the "History and Technology of Mining and Metallurgy" and the "Documentation, Protection, and Preservation of Industrial Heritage, particularly in Mining and Metallurgy". Research is therefore not just restricted to mining, but extends into mining and metallurgy, and the entire associated cultural heritage.

The museum is supported by the Vereinigung der Freunde von Kunst und Kultur im Bergbau e.V. /VFKK (Association of Friends of Art and Culture in Mining).
