Located at Tanjung Kubong, the Chimney Museum showcases the history of coal mining in Labuan since the 19th century. The museum documents Labuan’s role as one of the earliest coal mining centres in Southeast Asia, highlighting the lives of mine workers as well as the technology used during that era.
Its main attraction is the iconic Chimney, a striking 30-metre-tall red-brick structure that has become an important landmark of Labuan.
