The name of ‘Samtan’ refers to Samcheok Tanjwa, one of major coal mines in Korea, and ‘Art Min’ refers to ‘Coal mine’ in English and has meaning that of a mining coal turning into cultural art space. Throughout the nation, many cultural art places are located but Samtan Art Mine attracts visitors for being an actual mine site, which was closed in October 2001 after its first opening in 1964 when it was developed as a industrial establishment.
