The Domaine du Fourneau Saint-Michel actually consists of two museum entities with different but complementary themes: the open-air museum, which takes you into rural life in the 19th-century south of the Sambre and Meuse valley, and the Iron Museum, located in a old blast furnace, classified and exceptional heritage, to relive the proto-industrial steel industry. Substantial works are in progress to meet detailed requirements, and the latter is therefore currently inaccessible to the public.
