Groups of schoolchildren from the age of 6 can experience an exciting day (3 to 6 hours) against the backdrop of the Haut-Martelange slate museum. You go search for the slate stone and learn how it was formed in the ground, how it was mined and what it was made into. 

The slate industry and its unique site, which is still a witness from the age of the Industrial Revolution, can be discovered through various themes:

​

• Slate and its properties

• Geology of the Luxembourg Land

• The slate miner and his craft

• A creative work in stone (medallion, engraving, ...)

• The carbide lamp 

• The steam engine

• The typewriter

• Dry wall construction

• The transport of the slate

• Storytelling and reading cards

​

Depending on the age of the excursion, the content is conveyed differently. The daily program can be put together individually and the following activities can also be booked, for example: demonstration of the craft of the slate miner, scavenger hunt, visit to an old mine from the 19th century, compilation of a dossier, ride with the industrial train through the museum area, making your own slab of slate and other workshops on the subject of slate and slate quarries. 

The museum is open to schoolgroups all year round.
