Écomusée des mines de fer de Lorraine, Mining museum in Aumetz and Neufchef, France
The museum complex spans two locations, featuring extensive underground galleries, mining equipment displays, and industrial machinery that demonstrate iron extraction methods.
The Bassompierre mine operated from 1900 to 1983, when it transformed into a museum to preserve the memory of Lorraine's iron mining industry.
The museum received the prestigious 'Musée de France' designation in 2003, recognizing its role in safeguarding the industrial heritage of the region.
Visitors can join guided tours Tuesday through Sunday from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM between May and September, with adult tickets priced at 10 euros.
A 35-meter-high headframe platform provides panoramic views of mining towns, the iron church of Crusnes, and Maginot Line fortifications.
