Innerferrera Mining Museum

Mining has shaped the Ferrera and Schams regions for centuries. The Innerferrera Mining Museum is dedicated to this history and makes it accessible to visitors.

The museum is run by the Erzminen Hinterrhein association, which is committed to preserving, researching, and communicating the region's mining heritage. The museum sees itself as a place of remembrance, of engagement with the past, and of encounter with a formative era in the history of the Schams Valley.

Guided tours and themed offerings complement the museum's program. Registration is required for guided tours, and group tours are available upon request.

New opening and vernissage in April

In April, the Innerferrera Mining Museum will be reopened with a newly designed exhibition. The opening will feature a ceremony, theater performance, and drinks reception. Registration is not required.

The ceremony begins at 11:00 a.m. at the Innerferrera schoolhouse, followed by refreshments. The highlight is the premiere of the play "Der Schmerz vom Erz – Erinnerungen der Heiligen Barbara" (The Pain of Ore – Memories of Saint Barbara ) by Rita Juon and Mario Nicca. The play accompanies Saint Barbara on her way to the reopening of the museum and brings influential figures from the region's mining history to life.

The new exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the history of mining in Ferrera and Schams on a historical tour.

The exhibition is open daily from April 1 to October 31, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
