Musée de la Mine de Blanzy

The museum features a 200-meter underground gallery system that demonstrates various mining operations through preserved equipment and reconstructed mining environments.

The site operated from the 16th century until 1992 for underground operations and 2000 for surface activities, making it a major mining basin in Burgundy.

Former miners initiated the museum's creation in 1974 to preserve mining artifacts and established the association La Mine et les Hommes to manage the facility.

Visitors can explore the museum from March to November, with guided tours available year-round for groups by appointment at 34 rue du Bois Clair.

The Saint-Claude shaft headframe from the 19th century was relocated to the museum site in 1981, receiving historical monument recognition in 1993.
