    The museum traces the history of petroleum in Alsace from 1498 to the closing of the refinery in 1970. What was for 500 years the main activity here is illustrated by documents, models and petroleum equipment. Discovery trips organized once a month will take you to the old mining sites, to discover the slag heaps, or to Le Bel castle, which was the starting point for oil exploitation in Pechelbronn. These outings are led by specialists, witnesses who have known the time of exploitation.
