Pyromin Museum, Military museum in Corbeyrier, Switzerland.

The Swiss Museum of Explosives occupies 7000 square meters of underground tunnels within Fort de Champillon, displaying exhibits about pyrotechnics and military engineering.

Fort de Champillon, constructed between 1942 and 1943, served as a strategic military position protecting the route from Lake Geneva to Grand-Saint-Bernard until 1994.

The museum maintains exhibits about the evolution of explosives technology, from black powder manufacturing to modern fireworks, through demonstrations and scale models.

The temperature inside remains at 12 degrees Celsius in corridors and 20 degrees in exhibition halls, requiring visitors to bring warm clothing.

Children between 10 and 16 years can celebrate birthdays at the museum, including guided tours and workshops where they construct model rockets.
