Water, Fire, Iron and Geniuses. In 10 rooms, you will relive 4 centuries of technology: the oldest blast furnace in the country, the zinc bath of Napoleon, a spectacular steam-engine, internal combustion engines, Zénobe Gramme's dynamo, and the ancestor of data processing are, among many others, a few treasures of this exciting adventure.
NEW: The metallurgy room has got a new skin to make visitors of all ages better understand the reality of today's metallurgy. An educational trail will guide you through the fascinating world of steel: screens, fun manipulations, objects, a film (15 min)… The astonishing photographs of Thierry Dricot (Liège) plunges you in the world of the "Métallos".
