The Musée de la Mine (Mining Museum) of Brassac-les-Mines is located at Bayard, an northwestern suburb. This building once contained the power plant and the hoist of the colliery. The museum shows the history of the coal mining since the 14th century, the techniques used, the daily live of the miners. There are audiovisual displays, a 160m long reconstructed tunnel of the coal mine, and of course the building and its machinery.
