Description

The museum is located in the old administration building of the mining company Bjørkaasen Gruber, a venerable building from 1919, and is worth a visit for that reason alone. The lifeblood of the community in Ballangen was for a long time the mining industry, and the main theme of the museum is naturally mining history. Through a unique collection of objects, you get an insight into the former glory days, as well as peasant culture, school and household.
