JOURNEES EUROPEENNES DU PATRIMOINE AU CENTRE MINIER

Take advantage of this cultural event to discover (or rediscover) the new museum!
Follow the miner's trail through the hanging room and the lamp room, then "descend" into the reconstructed mine to relive the work of the "gueules noires" of the Vendée and Deux-Sèvres!
In 2024, the Centre Minier invites you to take a journey through the museum's photographic collections. This new exhibition highlights the human wealth of the Faymoreau coalfield. It's an opportunity to take a fresh look at the mine and discover more than 90 photographs tracing life on the mine floor, in the mine shafts, at festivals, in schools, etc.
Behind each view is a story...
