La métallurgie

The Châtillonnais region is particularly suited to the metallurgical industry due to the presence of three essential ingredients for its growth: water, iron ore, and wood. Along the three valleys – the Seine, Ource, and Aube – structures for the extraction and transformation of iron were established throughout the 18th century.

This exhibition, which was once part of the museum's permanent collection, returns to our galleries for three months. It’s a great opportunity to (re)discover this fascinating craft that sustained the region for centuries.
