Museum that lets you discover the history of uranium through the 3D film Once upon a time there was uranium
The French uranium epic began in Limousin in 1948. Even today, the adventure continues. For more than 60 years, men worked day after day in extreme conditions in the heart of the mines on which Urêka is now located. It is to these pioneers and their activity that the site pays homage, by retracing in a playful and educational way the history of the exploitation of this natural resource, contained in the Limousin soil for more than 200 million years. Discover the history of uranium thanks to the 3D film Il était une fois l'uranium (Once upon a time there was uranium), then plunge into the depths of the Earth thanks to the show trail and the simulator reconstructing an underground mining site from the 1950s to the 1970s. Explore uranium from its current exploitation to its future stakes around the interactive multimedia device and deepen your scientific knowledge in "the core of knowledge". A veritable mine of knowledge, objects and testimonials. Finally, marvel in the machine park, in front of the staging of mining machines of the period entirely revisited ..

L'entreprise s'est désengagée de la mémoire : ce sont des bénévoles qui la perpétue.
Allez-y et visitez : c'est pas cher et cela leur permet de continuer.
C'est un musée très interactif et instructif.
Pour toute la famille.
