Fosse Frandemiche, Mining museum in Le Molay-Littry, France.

The Fosse Frandemiche museum contains original mining equipment, tools, and a 70-meter underground gallery that demonstrates coal extraction techniques from different periods.

The museum occupies the former Frandemiche mining shaft, one of 23 extraction points in the Littry mining basin, which employed 950 workers at its peak in 1840.

Exhibits include a steam engine built by the Périer brothers in 1802, wooden pulleys, and a scale model of the Bruay-en-Artois mine displayed at the 1900 Paris World Fair.

The museum operates from April to October, Wednesday through Sunday from 14:00 to 18:00, with adult admission at 6 euros and children aged 6-18 at 3 euros.

The museum features educational materials for different school levels and contains archaeological remains discovered in old mining wells throughout the region.
