The Big Pit National Coal Museum was established in 1983 and can be found in Blaenavon, Wales. The industrial heritage museum is dedicated to preserving the Welsh heritage of coal mining and is housed on what was once an actual working coal mine for a hundred years. Visitors can get a real underground experience at the museum while also exploring the mining galleries and the machinery and tools that were used in the coal mine. There are many events held at the museum throughout the year, and visitors can partake in experiences such as the Father’s Day FEASTival or toddler story and rhyme time.
