@Energies Limousines / Musée Urêka

For more than 60 years, men have worked, day after day, in the heart of the uranium mines near which Urêka is now located. 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 about the origins of uranium and its use, a reconstructed mining path from the prospector’s tent to the processing plant via an underground extraction site. Finally, the interactive space with its touch screens, a veritable mine 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.
