Musée de la mine et des hommes
Blanzy · Saône-et-Loire · Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
The Museum of Mining and Men is located in Blanzy, in Saône-et-Loire, on the site of the Saint-Claude Shaft. It offers an immersion into the mining world through authentic installations: the shaft itself, its headframe and working machinery. The museum provides an original educational experience, combining visits to galleries in dim light with the discovery of local industrial heritage. The visit routes are adapted to different audiences: individuals, groups of friends, families and school groups. This unique approach, based on exploration of the actual site rather than traditional museography, characterizes the establishment.
