Green Provence, a region with solid traditions of bauxite mining, had a duty to set up a site commemorating an activity that brought it wealth. So Tourves has opened this museum with its red colours. This is a modern and entertaining site, giving a glimpse of the miners lives, the mining galleries and the entire process leading to the end product, namely, aluminium.

Originating in the extraction of bauxite, the red dust covered the miners' faces… An influential period in the history of the Var which the Museum explores from every angle. A careful museography, an interactive trail, a living reconstruction, a tour will not leave you indifferent to this poignant story.
