A department store disguised as a museum, or a museum disguised as a department store? The building of the once-famous Kneepkens department store in Heerlen accommodates the new Dutch Mining Museum. A perfect location, because in the heyday of coal mining (the mid-1950s), Heerlen had the largest number of department stores in the Netherlands. Due to the thriving industry, there were many miners with money to spend, and this department store was built by and for these miners. In the new museum, visitors imagine themselves in the former department store and go 'shopping'. Inside, they discover the unique story of the rise, the glory days and the decline of coal mining in South Limburg, and the impact it had on society. With this, a part of history that has long been kept hidden finally sees the light of day.
