About
The National Mining Museum (Musée National des Mines) of Luxembourg is located in the very south of the country, in Rumelange, which is close to the French border. The museum opened in 1973, at the site of the Walert mine. 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. Many of the exhibits are deep down in the mine.
