Although the building is impressive, I feel it doesn't make fully use of its potential. Some floors are just boring piles of old stuff. Other corners of the museum are surprisingly modern with also a special lighted staircase. You need several hours is your want to visit our all. Also explore the neighbouring grounds.

A really awesome experience, so expertly brought to life by the superb English-speaking guide who gave us an invaluable insight into the horrendous working conditions and lives of those who worked there. Well deserved UNESCO status, and very reasonably priced too. Deserves to be promoted much more strongly. Also excellent parking and places to eat and drink on site.

Amazing museum. If you have a tight time and want to understand the area history.. This is the right place. The museum design is unique.

Fantastic museum looking into the historic coal mining industry in the Ruhr and it's effects on urban history in general, and the regions history in Germany.
