Britannia Mine Museum

Once the British Empire’s largest copper mine, the Britannia Mine Museum is nestled at the edge of Howe Sound in Canada, near Whistler.

Visitors can ride a train deep into the mine, pan for gold flakes, and explore exhibits that detail the lives of the miners who toiled here over generations.
