The European Union’s local delegation reported its opening in June 2022 as a project involving international partners and local institutions.
This offers a different perspective on a mountain town: industrial work, community memory and the long-term management of former uranium sites. A museum visit is not an invitation to explore waste facilities or abandoned workings. Keep those areas separate from the public exhibition and follow official restrictions. The opening report establishes the museum’s creation, but current hours, guiding languages and admission conditions should be confirmed before a dedicated journey.
Public OpenStreetMap feature reference, not a surveyed arrival instruction or access guarantee.
