G-04 Zonguldak Mining Museum was established to keep the hard coal mining culture, which is the most important production resource of the region, alive with a museum. The museum, which was built on a total area of 6,932.79 m2, was opened on 09.12.2016. In this area, there is also a gallery next to the museum building. The gallery, which was previously used as a Training Furnace by TTK, now serves as a Coal Experience Furnace. In the garden section of the museum, there is the Mining Machinery Exhibition and the Mining Martyrs Monument, which was built in memory of the miners who lost their lives during their duties. The coal-city relationship is shown in the foyer area of the museum. In this area, there are objects related to the social activities of TTK, photographs and materials belonging to Zonguldak Radio, which was also used for educational purposes for a period.
