THE MINE MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Ecomuseum showcasing the mine and the miners, with tours through the galleries accompanied by former miners.
The Musée de la Mine de Bruay (Bruay Mine Museum) is an eco-museum designed to showcase the mine and, above all, its miners. To recreate their lives as faithfully as possible, and above all the terrible work that awaited them at the bottom of the pit, the establishment called on the services of real "black faces". Thanks to their testimonies, it was possible to reconstruct their visual and aural universe for an authentic plunge into the heart of the mine. These same former miners guide visitors through the rebuilt galleries. A fascinating experience!

Le lieu, étant un ancien centre de formation pour les galibots, m’a immergée profondément dans le quotidien de labeur des mineurs. Il retransmet aux visiteurs les pénibles conditions de travail des charbonniers. Les bruitages, les outils, les berlines, les lampes, la tenue des mineurs, tout y est. Tous ces effets spéciaux et objets d’époques rendent la visite du musée d’autant plus authentique et historique. Il passe également en détails toute l’évolution des technologies, de l’époque de Germinal aux dernières extractions de charbon.
En bref :
Magnifique lieu (trop méconnu d’ailleurs), qui vaut vraiment le détour. Impossible de sortir indemne de la visite.
J’ai hâte que le musée ouvre à nouveau ses portes !
