Mining History Centre

One of the Best Places To Visits in Lewarde The Mining History Centre is a worthwhile visit for those interested in industrial history and the lives of coal miners. Allocate at least 3 hours and be aware that the underground tour is a simulation. Check for tour times and language options in advance. Plan for a minimum of 3 hours to fully experience the museum. Wear comfortable shoes. An audio guide is available for non-French speakers. The underground tour is a simulation, not a real mine. The museum is so realistic, you have the feeling of going back to the past. The visit to the simulated mine is as well cool. One of the most impressive museums I have visited. Great attraction showing how mining has changed through the ages. The mine tour was good.

Really nice museum, with a very nice collection. There are lots of stuff and info for small and big. The entry to the "mine" is very informative. If you plan to go plan atleast three hours to have time enough to get all the information. We spent nearly three hours with two children and did not manage to see it all. The reason for only 4 stars is the missing information in English in the permanent exhibition. Great attraction showing how minig has changed through the ages. Includes information on how the miners worked and lived. Well presented and a great day out. I turn up at 1300 on a Friday 27 June to find the restaurant is 'full' yet it remains empty. I am informed that I have to attend the tour at 1330 and after that ONLY then am I free to the museum. Therefore they think I wait 30 minutes doing nothing! Little do then know it's likely I know more about mining than they do! Thankfully this place was only one of many I am visiting and I highly recommend visiting the locally run museums, ran by volunteers who worked those particular mines. This is an attraction for those with no prior knowledge of mining! Amazing place. The is super cool, it explains in very nice way all about mining on the region and on the site. The to the simulated mine is as well cool. One of the most impressive "museums" I have visited. While the tour guides speak french, their is an excellent audion guide available that make up for it. All personell were very friendly. The Tour of the coal mine is impressive. Original Sound levels are recreated. Different types of the local mining and the accompanying social developments are shown and well explained. And last but not least - also the restaurant with a good selection of local cuisine. I never thought that I could enjoy this type of that much. The is so realistic, you have the feeling of going back to the past. Count minimum 3hours for a full and wear comfortable shoes, it's important.🤪 There's a small shop for souvenirs, many other activities for almost all ages throughout the year. If you're visiting the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, then you should definitely stop by this museum. It's worth your curiosity especially if you like history though this one isn't a joyful one. To those who have read "Germinal" of Emile Zola, this is the best way to feel like you were present in those days, meanwhile many of us weren't even born when it all happened.😊 A good place to for about 2-3 hours. Intesting place, english information sheet and listening device for the tour and museum. The mine tour was good. Lots of parking and toilets. My father worked here in 1958 as an immigrant from Sicily and i was born nearby before moving to Switzerland in 1963 and later to Australia in 1977. God bless us all ! I liked it, but I was surprised to find at the end that the underground tour part wasn't actually authentic, but just a recreation. Shame they can't send you down the actual pit like many mine tours do. I guess this one the shafts have been capped or is otherwise unsafe. That said it was very well done.
