In 2003, the Museum of the Lignite Study Centerin honor of King Prajadhipok, funded by EGAT, was built next to the mine to serve as a learning center. It was opened to the public in 2005. It is divided into three zones: King Rama VII and the history of lignite, geological sciences, and operation of the mine. The geological section includes displays on paleontology and evolution of life. Visitors can learn about the origin of the earth and the evolution of life through geological time in a 3 dimensional movie theater. Most kinds of fossils from the lignite mine and some donated specimens are displayed in glass cabinets, in the layers of the stratigrapic model of the lignite mine fossil site.
