Musée « Forges et marines » à Guérigny

Inheriting a long metallurgical tradition, the town of Guérigny was very important in the 18th century thanks to the activity of the Forges de la Chaussade, one of the first factories in France. The buildings of the industrial site of old Guérigny have been the object of important works. Today they house an exhibition where the history of the Nivernais metallurgy is presented, models of old hammer-drills, steam engines, production for the navy (chain anchors, etc.) and a temporary exhibition
