Hosted by the Association of Former Minors, the museum of the Joël-Fontaine Mine was created in the mid-1970s by former miners who came to work in the iron and steel plants who were keen to keep their mining heritage and to tell their story mines.
In 1h15 old miners and children of miners will make you dive into the world of Underground Minors.
The museum presents the different types of galleries, coal recovery, tools and safety materials against accidents, the risks of "shots" or "firedamp". A large electrified model of an easel and the reconstruction of a piece of gallery are also major elements of the museum. Numerous documents, objects and images trace the work of miners to the rhythm of technical progress as well as their daily lives.
