This is simply a sensational, stunning and first class museum that was the site of a former Tin Mine until as recently as 1990. The great thing about the museum is that there is a lovely variety of different areas of the site to visit and all of the areas of the site have been left in their original state from 1990 when it closed giving you a clear idea and full picture of what the site was like and what life was like for miners when they worked here in 1990 and their conditions. The different areas that you can visit and see are The Hard Rock Museum, Winder House, Union Hut, Compressor House, The Mill, The Dry, Sample House, Victory Shaft & Drill Shop and all of these areas have informative and interesting displays about their role in the functioning of the mine and extracting the Tin and there are also very interesting artefacts to see such as former Miners Uniforms and some great rocks. There are some very riveting and enthralling talks delivered by ex-miners in the Dry Room detailing what life was like working at the mine and also the conditions they work at different time intervals. The highlights of the site are The Hard Rock Museum where you can learn about how Tin was formed in the ground through various geological processes over millions of years and there are some beautiful and exquisite rocks to see and there are other other fantastic products of Tin which are the end products from the processes of mining. The other highlights of the site are The Dry where you can see how Miners got changed when they came to work and showed before going into and coming out of the mine and also clocked in and out of work from shift and there are some interesting clothes and a series of lockers to see which have been left in their original state to see give a full picture of what life was like for Miners before going into The Mine and also after leaving the Mine. Other main highlights are The Mill where you can see the machinery that broke up the Tin Ore fresh from the mine and tried to separate from other rocks to the get the final product of Tin and the Mill gives you a great idea of how the Tin was broken down from the Rock and also the processes involved. The main iconic highlight is The Victory Shaft which stands proudly and prominently at the Centre of the site and coveys the true proud industrial importance and impressive industrial heritage natureof the site and the shaft also looks magnificent in general The last main highlight is The Wheal Mexico Underground Mine where you can walk around the Underground Mine which is very cramped and tight in places but you can a fantastic insight the difficult cramped conditions the Miners used to work in to mine the Tin.
