Year of the Mines in the showcase of SCHUNCK
The former mining area of the Netherlands is organising a theme year in 2015 about its origins, with a broad programme of activities and long-term programmes for residents and visitors. It will be fifty years since the then minister Den Uyl announced the end of coal mining. In 2015, the balance will be drawn up. What effect do the mining years themselves and the years after the closure have on life today? And how does the mining heritage help to answer today's questions?
