Parking is easy, price is fair and this is a great way to impregnate yourself in the history of this region. Audioguide are a must. Seeing all the dumps from the hoist is something to see. Visit is pretty short (3h max if you listen to all the audio) but more would be too much.
Worth the stop. This was a very interesting look into what mining for Asbestos was all about. The narrative information provided during the visit was an eye opening look into the interesting world of mining.
Impressive. The feeling of living in difficult times, in a world of workers where physical efforts still existed.
Today, laziness has won the day in a modern society where lazy people wait for everything to arrive cooked on a platter.
Interesting museum, smiling welcome.
