National Slate Museum

Musée | Caernarfon | Wales | Royaume Uni

Le Musée National du Schiefer à Caernarfon est un musée fascinant qui traite de l'histoire et de l'importance de l'exploitation du schiste au Pays de Galles. Le musée est situé dans l'ancienne carrière de schiste de Llanberis et offre aux visiteurs une impressionnante collection d'artefacts, de machines et de matériaux historiques qui documentent la tradition centenaire de l'exploitation du schiste.

Une attention particulière est portée par le musée à la révolution industrielle et au développement de l'extraction du schiste, qui a joué un rôle important dans l'économie et la culture du Pays de Galles. Les visiteurs peuvent admirer l'impressionnante collection de plaques de schiste et de produits fabriqués au fil des ans, ainsi que les outils et machines historiques utilisés dans l'exploitation minière.

Le musée ne se limite pas à l'aspect technique de l'exploitation du schiste, mais met également en lumière les histoires des travailleurs qui ont travaillé dans les mines dans des conditions souvent extrêmes. Les rapports historiques et les expositions offrent un aperçu de la vie difficile des mineurs et de leurs familles. Un autre aspect important du musée est la représentation de la production et de l'utilisation du schiste dans l'architecture, qui a décoré de nombreux bâtiments et toits célèbres à travers le monde.

Le Musée National du Schiefer n'est donc pas seulement un lieu de culture industrielle, mais aussi un important centre éducatif qui préserve l'importance historique de l'exploitation du schiste au Pays de Galles et la rend accessible au public. Il offre une occasion unique d'en apprendre davantage sur un segment clé de l'histoire galloise et d'explorer les innovations techniques et l'héritage social liés à l'industrie du schiste.

We went to the National Slate Museum having no idea what to expect thinking that it might be a boring little trip on a rainy day. However, we were thoroughly surprised to find this museum was a little gem. There was much to admire, firstly with the ease of accessibility to the facilities and each area of the museum was well presented and enjoyable to view. There were many interesting artifacts to observe and the history of the slate mining in the area was well documented. Our favourite parts were seeing the mining houses over time (it felt like stepping back in time) and the demonstration of the slate being cut, which was both illuminating and humerous. Definitely worth a visit, especially on a rainy day!

Excellent museum great exhibitions and demonstrations. Very interesting really highlights the workings of slate manufacture. The expertise of the workers was something to be proud of it's just a pity it's not operating any more.

Museum is great, definitely worth a visit, however woman in the gift shop was very rude, not welcoming, when I asked her a question she totally dismissed me and my family, didn't want to talk to us, so rude. 2 stars off for that.

The place is very interesting. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, blacksmith, slate trimmer, guides, shop team all great. It's closing in a couple of weeks for a refurbishment. I'm sure it'll be even better when it reopens. Shop on site sells the usual attraction goodies, cafe sells cafe stuff. Little kids play area, some quarry cottages all dressed up inside. Lots of original artifacts, machines & history. Great place, get along and enjoy it.

A pretty alright actual museum, but with uninviting staff and poor signage making for a confusing experience that feels as if you are not welcome.
