Kinta Tin Mining (Gravel Pump) Museum

Image
The full name of the Kinta Tin Mining Museum is the Kinta Tin Mining (Gravel Pump) Museum. It is located in Kampar, which, as part of Perak’s Kinta Valley, was an important tin mining centre from the late 1880s, through its heyday in the 1920s, up until the 1970s by which time production was in decline. This museum in Kampar focuses on the gravel pump method of extraction. It was a messy business. A glance at the map will show that the area surrounding Kampar is pockmarked with dozens of small lakes left over from tin mining activity. The mining pits were ugly at the time but now that mining has stopped and nature has worked its miracles, the lakes serve as attractive spots for housing developments, nature reserves, duck farms and so on.  The museum was opened in 2012 and was the inspiration of businessman Tan Sri Hew See Tong, himself a former tin miner.
