Gruvdriften upphörde vid 1900-talets slut men har genom många århundraden haft ett starkt inflytande på teknisk, ekonomisk, social och politisk utveckling i Sverige och Europa. Stora Kopparberget och det omkringliggande landskapet fungerar därför som ett tydligt minne av det tidiga svenska industrisamhället med sina internationella kopplingar. Falun och Kopparbergslagen utsågs av Unesco till världsarv 2001.
