This paper discusses the process of transformation of the (coal) mining heritage from the 1990s up to the present day. It draws attention to the development of new trends related to the conservation and documentation of that heritage. In the last decades, numerous open air museums, tradition parks, monument trails have been created, which, through various forms of activities, encourage people to take interest in the history and traditions associated with mining. Today, the mining heritage has a significant potential, especially in terms of popular forms of tourism (industrial, urban, thematic). Due to institutional and financial support, also on the part of local environments, and a well-developed promotional strategy, mining heritage can become a stimulus for economic and cultural development of different regions.
