History

Discovering the Kuznetsk Coal Basin

In 1721, prospector Mikhailo Volkov was peacefully floating down the Tom River when he saw black smoke. The locals told him about a strange red hill that had been struck by lightning and had been burning ever since. And so Kuznetsk coal was discovered.

Personalia

Monuments

This is where coal was first discovered back in 1721.
The first coal mine was founded in 1907. You can still see its gaping mouth on the steep right bank of the Tom River, near the Red Hill.
The jetty was built in 1915 – 1916 to ship coal downstream.
The cableway was built in 1915 to transport coal from the Central Mine to the chemical plant.
This arched construction is one of the numerous buildings of the chemical plant, but it is, no doubt, the most beautiful one. It was built in 1915 – 1916.
The magnificent stone building that houses the museum was built in 1916 for the director of the local coal mines. It is one of the oldest buildings in the region.
The head office of the Kemerovo mine was built in 1917.
The concrete bath house was built for Kemerovo miners in 1925 – 1926 and had a revolutionary design.
The Dutch architect J. B. Van Loghem built the first comfortable terraced houses for local coalminers in 1926 – 1927. The residents found the design so weird that the comfortable townhouses were immediately nicknamed "sausages", and the name stuck.
These elegant houses were built by the Dutch architect J. B. Van Loghem in 1926 – 1927. They were meant for engineers, or specialists, and their families.
The school of the Kemerovo Mine was built by J. B. Van Loghem in 1926 – 1927 and still remains one-of-a-kind.
The monument commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Kemerovo Mine. It was erected in 1950.
This striking monument was designed by the famous sculptor Ernst Neizvestny in 2003.
St. Varvara, or Barbara, is the patron saint of coal miners. The sculptural composition “The Great Martyr Varvara” commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Kemerovo Mine.
The sculpture pays homage to all those horses that spent their entire lives in the dark, and their caretakers. It was put on the territory of the museum in 2008 on the Coal Miner’s Day.
