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.

Visite de la mine avec 4 enfants, mes beaux parents étant venu de Belgique pour cette visite, le guide demande en quel langue la visite peut être faites, une majorité pour le Luxembourgeois, la visite est donc faites en Luxembourgeois. Le guide avait l’air passionné, mais malheureusement mes beaux parents et les enfants n ont pas pu suivre la visite, ne parlant pas luxembourgeois. Etant un lieu touristique, le guide aurait pu demander si tout le monde comprenait le français. De plus les enfants n’ont jamais pu se mettre devant les adultes pour au moins voir les differentes machines ou lueux éclairer à la torche. Encore une fois en tant que guide il aurait fallu mettre les plus petits en avants. Cela aurait du être une belle experience qui s’est terminé en frustration pour les enfants et mes beaux parents.
