About the location

Musée de l'homme et de l'industrie

Château de la Verrerie 71200 Le Creusot

Saône-et-Loire
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

The permanent exhibition of the museum includes a remarkable collection of crystals and of opaline of the beginning of the XIXth century. On the first floor, the exposed(explained) rooms(parts,plays) evoke the industrial epic poem of the factories of Creusot and the development of the city, generated by a dynasty of ironmasters: Schneider. The lounge(show) of Americas, with its panoramic wallpaper, its furniture of styles Empire and the Restoration, allows to include the lifestyle of the business upper middle class in the XXth century. At the ground floor, models of locomotives and of boats evoke the role of the steam engine in transport. The paintings(boards) of François Bonhommé and from Joseph-Fortuné Layraud represent work in the metallurgical factories. Temporary exhibitions(exposures) are also proposed throughout the year.
