Open your eyes and ears and be tempted by all the props of this remarkable exhibition.
Pop-Up exhibition: Mijndert Müller
Learn all about the miningdirector
Mijndert Müller is a famous character in Limburg and known for his discovery tour down the tunnels of this mining complex. As the story goes, he went down to look for the Magnum Opus, a stone believed to give you eternal life. With only one goal in mind, he disappeared into the dark tunnels never to be seen again, which makes him such a striking character. The temporary exhibition in the central hall of our museum allows you to discover everything about this ambitious miner and his trip in search for a wonderous stone.
