This museum highlights the profound impact of the mining industry on Luxembourg, taking visitors behind the scenes of miners' work and into the country's industrial history. An impressive collection of books, documents, tools, machines, rock samples and other objects are on display. The museum also explores the daily lives of miners, their culture, traditions and challenges, both at work and at home. The rest of the site consists of :

The underground mine: the galleries of the "Walert" iron mine, in operation from 1891 to 1963, take visitors to depths of over 70 meters and house machines and tools.

Le carreau de la mine: the former locomotive shed features an exhibition retracing the history of Luxembourg's iron mines. The loading docks and machinery can also be seen here.

The mining train: this special train takes visitors through a 3 km-long mine gallery, where a guide explains the different workings, showing the technical evolution of tools and methods used to extract iron ore.

La Brasserie du Musée: housed in a former mine office building, this establishment serves light meals and Luxembourg specialities.

A number of walks in the surrounding area allow visitors to observe the various stages in the renaturation of an abandoned mine.

Un beau musée, intéressant, sur un site bien aménagé avec une impressionnante collection de machines bien entretenues. Notre guide était sympathique et ses explications étaient très claires.

Belle visite d'un patrimoine industriel et culturel.
Un dédale de couloirs de mines, avec une progression dans les techniques et outils utilisés dans le temps sur 150 d'histoire technique et humaine.

A compléter par une visite ou une information sur l'utilisation du minerai de fer pour le transformer en acier, qui a fait la richesse du pays et des habitants pendant de nombreuses générations.
