BELVAL, A MONUMENT BUT ABOVE ALL A PLACE OF THE FUTURE

1 The blast furnaces of Belval (A & B) are preserved as a national monument, the last of their kind in Luxembourg. They are the landmarks of an important part of the country's history. But Belval is not only a national monument; it is one of the biggest and most ambitious urban development areas in Europe at the mo- ment. On approximately 120 hectares, research, studies, work, leisure, shopping, living and culture are contributing to a multifunctional environment. P. (+352) 26 840 1 fonds-belval.lu belval.lu

renowned German town planner Joseph 05 Stübben extended the plan and created new quarters. In addition, the arts pros- pered to complement the flourishing city.

THE NATIONAL MINING MUSEUM IN RUMELANGE

The idea to found a mining museum goes back to 1970. At this time, former miners convinced the City Hall of Rumelange to transform the mine called Walert, which had been closed in 1963, into a museum. Since its modernisation in 2002, the museum presents the work of the miners, as well as the tools, machines and equipment that they used for the extraction of iron ore in a lively way. The major part of the collection is showcased in the underground galleries of the mine. Tools and machines give evidence of more than a century of techno- logical evolution. Thanks to this spectacular way of presentation, the visitor gets a deep insight into the nature of the mining work. P. (+352) 56 56 88 mnm.lu
