Presentation

But what would the groundhog put its chocolate in if the people of the Maurienne weren't here? Join us as we unravel the great story of aluminum in the Maurienne. You have the right not to look only with your eyes. Observe, listen, manipulate!
Espace Alu, the museum that gets the curious talking!

Aluminum and the Maurienne have a long history! And it's an enduring one: for over 100 years, men and women have risen to the challenge of producing aluminum in our valley.

Open your eyes wide and follow the thread to...
...immerse yourself in the history of the valley and its aluminum production plants
...marvel at the ingenuity of techniques from the 19th century to the present day
...marvel at collections of rare and unusual objects
...learn about the lives of the men and women who rise to the daily challenge of producing this fabulous metal

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