The Urêka Museum takes you into the world of mining and scientific research that recounts in a playful and educational way the epic of these men.

For more than 60 years, men have worked, day after day, in the heart of the mines near which Urêka now stands. It is to these pioneers and their activity that the site pays tribute, tracing in a playful and educational way the history of the exploitation of this natural resource, contained in the Limousin soil for more than 200 million years.
Dive into the depths of mining through a unique scenography: a 3D film on the origin of uranium, a mining journey from the prospector’s tent to the extraction plant and a reconstruction of an underground construction site. Discover this interactive space, a veritable treasure trove of knowledge with objects and testimonies.

The URÊKA Museum was created to remember 60 years of uranium mining in the Limousin and to keep track of the work of the men and women who took part in this adventure. A 3D film, an immersive journey through reconstructed galleries, numerous touch screens, allow us to better understand this page of History.
