Samtan Art Mine is a place where the Samcheok Tanjwa Jeongam Mining Office, which was abandoned in 2001, was created as a cultural and artistic space. Samtan Art Mine is a combination of Samtan, an abbreviation of Samcheok Tanjwa, art of art, and mine, which means mine. It means that Samcheok Tanjwa will be developed as an art mine. It is a spectacular transformation of the Black Mine, which mined coal for 38 years from 1964 to 2001. Samtan Art Mine is divided into the Samtan Art Center and the outdoor exhibition hall. The Samtan Art Center, which consists of specialized galleries, has various exhibition spaces such as an open gallery for artists in residency, a contemporary art museum, and a special exhibition room. .
