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.

Site internet pas à jour ????????????
Soi-disant ouvert les 2 et 3 ème dimanche d' octobre à mars.
Et bien non fermé pour cause de travaux d'après les serveuses de la brasserie du musée ????????????
La moindre des choses, c'est de l'indiquer sur le site internet et avoir un répondeur téléphonique qui le précise au lieu de laisser la ligne tf sonner dans le vide ????????????
