As the only natural energy source available in Korea, coal played its part as an important fuel for the industrial development of the nation. Now that the country relies more on cleaner energy sources, the demand for coal has been in steady decline and the coal industry is gradually losing its significance. The Taebaek Coal Museum is a place where you can learn about the history of Korea’s coal industry through the well-organized exhibitions.
* The exhibitions will win the attention of visitors because:
i) the unique story-telling method of the exhibitions is both interesting and eye-catching;
ii) the exhibitions are presented in a way that facilitates the visitors’ understanding and take advantage of a spacious venue;
iii) excavation and coal-collecting techniques are demonstrated by means of videos and mannequins;
iv) various technologies are integrated into the simulation system, including special lighting, sound effects, and other mechanisms to enhance reality.
