The traditions of collecting documentary material relating to mining at Gelnica stretch back to the times of Empress Maria Theresia. However, the present museum was founded in 1963 in the building of the former town hall.
The museum's collections come for the most part from Gelnica and environs and present the history and development of mining in the 19th and 20th centuries.
