The Elba Mineral and Mining Art Museum is part of the Island of Elba Mining Park project. It is located in the Palazzo del Burò, a prestigious building that once housed the management of Elba’s mining operations. The same building is home to the historical mining archive, which preserves documents and records relating to the island’s mining history.

The museum houses an important collection of Elban minerals of exceptional beauty, displayed in the large main hall and representing the geo-mineral heritage of the Island of Elba. Other rooms feature faithfully reconstructed mine environments with original tools and materials recovered from mining sites, including the blacksmith’s workshop and the miner’s shelter. A full-scale mine tunnel section has also been recreated.

The exhibition also includes a video room showing fascinating archival footage of the mining industry. Throughout the museum, visitors will also find paintings and photographs depicting scenes from the old iron mines of Elba.
