Museum
in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne

Espace Alu

But what would the marmot put its chocolate in if the Mauritians weren't there? Come unfold with us the great history of aluminum in the Maurienne. You have the right not to look only with your eyes. Observe, listen, manipulate!
Espace Alu, the museum that will get the curious talking!

La Maurienne and aluminium, it's quite a story! And a lasting story: for more than 100 years, women and men have taken up the challenge of producing aluminum in our valley every day.

Open your eyes wide and follow the thread to…
…immerse yourself in the epic of the valley and its aluminum production plants
…surprise you with the ingenuity of techniques from the XNUMXth century to today
… marvel at the collections of rare and unusual objects
…let you tell the story of the lives of the men and women who take up the challenge of producing this fabulous metal every day

> In junior mode (7-12 years): leave with a game booklet and find Tubalu the museum mascot to make your own discoveries
