Big Pit is a former coal mining colliery near Blaenavon in Gwent, South Wales, United Kingdom. It was a working pit from 1860 to 1980. In 2001 it was taken over by the National Museum of Wales who undertook a redevelopment programme, reopening it as an industrial museum in 2004 and winning the prestigious Gulbekian Prize for Museum of the Year in the same year.
