MagMa – Marble Museum
Discovering the history of stone and marble
The marble museum changed its name and is now called MagMa (Museum Workshop Geology & Marble). The Museum is located in the Boot of the Hainaut and lets you discover stone and marble. Let’s go into the exciting world of rocks: geology, paleontology, changes in the techniques of extraction, sculpture, processing, a showroom and a marmotheque rich in colors. And brand new: a room for children, a laboratory to learn everything about the Earth Sciences (volcanoes, earthquakes, fossils …)!
Plan this experience with your family.
