The Norsk Bergverksmuseum (Norwegian Mining Museum) is exhibiting, "The Dark Side of Gold," which features more than 80 photographs of children working in small-scale gold mines in Asia and Africa, through December 15, in Kongsberg, Norway. The museum is hosting a series of talks on child labor and mining throughout the show's run, in an effort to call awareness to the international problem. We're very grateful to the wonderful team at the Norsk Bergverksmuseum for their support of this project.
