>A couple of years ago the Flemish Government scheduled all the remaining
>buildings of the coalmine of Beringen and now the decision has been taken
>to transform it into a museum and a mining heritage interpretation center.
>The mine, which was conceded just before the first war and which started
>production immediately after the war (at great depth) is huge.

>Actually we are looking for the following information:
>- what do you believe are the largest mines protected and/or preserved in
>Europe - and what is or will be their future ?
>- how many complete 20th c. coal washing and sifting plants have been
>preserved (and where exactly ?)
>- is there anywhere a survey available on the mining museums existing in
>Europe (the UK is no problem, there is the Museum's Yearbook) ? Or can
>participants to mining-history tell us what mining museums the know of.
