Musée de l'Homme et de l'Industrie - Écomusée Creusot Montceau
Originally the Royal Manufactory of Crystals and Enamels for Queen Marie-Antoinette, the Château de la Verrerie was transformed during the 19th and early 20th centuries by the Schneider family, masters of the Forges, to make it a prestigious residence and accommodate important personalities and potential customers of the Creusot forges.
Housed in the main building, the Musée de l'Homme et de l'Industrie (Museum of Man and Industry) displays a large collection of Le Creusot crystals, the history of the Schneider dynasty, the development of the town and factories thanks to paternalism, models (including the model reproducing the forges and workshops of Le Creusot), as well as paintings depicting work in the forges.
Free admission to the museum, educational activities, temporary exhibitions and special tours in July and August.
Discover the family area on the ground floor of the museum: games, puzzles, drawing materials and books available for consultation on site, to discover the history of the site while having fun! Accessible to all ages, under parental supervision.
