Musée départemental du sel de Marsal

The departmental salt museum presents collections of tools, artifacts, and equipment used in salt production throughout three millennia in the Moselle region.

Established in 1996, the museum occupies the Porte de France, a fortified gate designed by Marshal Vauban as part of the city's military architecture.

The exhibits showcase the salt workers' daily routines, techniques, and traditions that shaped the economic development of the Saulnois territory.

The museum welcomes visitors from February to December, Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages and special rates for groups.

The museum holds an extensive collection of salt cellars and displays archaeological evidence of Europe's largest protohistoric salt production site.
