MONT-CENIS RAILWAY TUNNEL
A 12.5 kilometer long tunnel at Modane, revealed by the installation of a steam locomotive with its convoy.
Erected on the occasion of the first major breakthrough of the Alps between 1857 and 1871, this monumental tunnel entrance pays homage to a major technical achievement. An imposing steam locomotive sits proudly, symbolizing human triumph over the mountains. The exhibition retraces in detail the adventure of building the first Alpine tunnel and the impact it had on the region and beyond. At 12.5 km long, the tunnel represents one of Europe's first engineering feats.
