Ruhr Museum - Schacht XII, A14 Kohlenwsche (Shaft 12, A14 Coal-washing), Zollverein : Essen, Germany - 29 December 2010.

Along with Pcs (Hungary) and Istanbul (Turkey), the city of Essen in Germany was designated as one of three European Capital Cities of Culture for 2010. Various projects, sites, and monuments throughout the Ruhr region were on display for most of the year. One of the big highlights in Essen was the Zollverein coal mine Industrial Complex which has been listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site since 2001.

The entire refurbished complex now houses space for art, design, and cultural exhibitions, and is also home to the Ruhr Museum, which provides detailed historical accounts of the economic importance of coal mining and consequent decline, and descriptions of existing and future economic redevelopment plans for the Ruhr region.
