The miner's lamp presented in our exhibition is a Soviet example of a Davy lamp, produced by the Red Rey plant in the 1950s.
The miner's lantern was donated to the funds of the Temirtau city’s Museum by an old resident of the city, Vladimir Dmitrievich. Many generations of miners still remember with warmth this simple and reliable lamp, which saved more than one thousand human lives.
