National Mining Museum, Luxembourg

The National Mining Museum (French: Musée National des Mines) of Luxembourg is located in the very south of the country, in Rumelange, which is close to the French border.

It provides an on-site exhibition of the tools, machinery, and equipment used from the beginning of the 19th century until the iron-ore mines were closed in the 1980s.

[1] While most of the museum's collection is in the mine, the exhibition hall contains a number of display cases with a selection of lamps, tools, helmets and measuring instruments as well as minerals and fossils.

The complex array of tunnels also gives an impressive picture of the mine workings.
