Musée de l'Homme et de l'Industrie - Écomusée Creusot Montceau
Originally the Royal Manufactory of Crystals and Enamels for Queen Marie-Antoinette, the Château de la Verrerie was transformed during the 19th and early 20th centuries by the Schneider family, masters of the Forges, to make it a prestigious residence and to be able to welcome important personalities and potential customers of the Creusot forges.
Housed in the main building, the Musée de l'Homme et de l'Industrie (Museum of Man and Industry) features a large collection of Le Creusot crystals, the history of the Schneider dynasty, the development of the town and factories thanks to paternalism, models (including the animated model reproducing the forges and workshops of Le Creusot), and paintings depicting work in the forges.
