Created in the out-buildings of the lower courtyard by the Association "La Route des mines Domes et Combrailles", the museum gives you an insight into the life of the local people and miners who extracted galena along the banks of the river Sioule, from the third to the twentieth century.

You can discover the secrets of industrial life in Pontgibaud from information panels, working models, tools, a model gallery, mineral specimens, hydro-electric power,  documents, photographs and video clips.
