Asturias Museum of Mining and Industry
At the Museum of Mining and Industry of Asturias (MUMI), you will discover how coal and Asturian factories helped shape modern society.
A brief history of
our origins
MUMI was conceived in the late 1980s, a challenging period for Asturias in the midst of industrial and mining restructuring. It was founded with three main goals:
- Safeguard the industrial cultural heritage that has shaped Asturian identity since the 19th century.
- Support the development of communities hardest hit by economic transition.
- Diversify the regional economy of Asturias.
The site chosen for its construction was the former slag heap of the San Vicente Coal Mine (Pozo San Vicente) in L’Entregu / El Entrego, right in the heart of the Asturian mining basins.

the origin
The starting point
Industrial coal mining dramatically altered the rhythm of Asturias starting in the late 18th century. Rural farming and livestock communities watched as mine openings, headframes, factories, and railway lines emerged, reshaping both the landscape and its sounds as industrialization advanced. From that moment on, the changing seasons no longer set the pace of daily life. Instead, it was the turullu—the siren signaling work shifts—that dictated the rhythm of entire towns and organized family life.
