Nested in the iconic Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ruhr Museum offers a deep dive into the natural and cultural history of the entire Ruhr area. Modern exhibits span geology, archaeology, and social history, telling the tales of coal mining, steel production, and the everyday lives shaped by industrialization. Climb the striking escalator leading to the former coal washing plant, where interactive presentations and multimedia installations await. Plan enough time to explore this fascinating space, then walk around the surrounding grounds for more insight into Essen’s industrial heritage.
