The best specialized museums Rumelange

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 then takes visitors into a 3 km-long mine gallery, where a guide explains the different workings, showing the technical evolution of tools and iron ore extraction methods.

La Brasserie du Musée: housed in a former mine office, 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.
