Cité de l'Or, Mining museum in Val-d'Or, Canada.
Located at the former Lamaque Mine, this museum features underground galleries at 300 feet depth and extensive mining equipment displays.
The Lamaque Mine operated from 1935 to 1985 following a significant gold deposit discovery in 1923 during Quebec's northwestern gold rush.
The museum presents the daily experiences of mining workers through exhibits, including 'Gold in Our Veins' and the preserved Bourlamaque Mining Village.
Visitors require covered shoes and warm clothing for underground tours, with access restricted to individuals taller than 1.09 meters and over 6 years old.
The facility serves as a training center for new miners since 2007, combining educational purposes with historical preservation of mining techniques.
