Museum Vieille Montagne
Discover the fascinating history of a small region that was highly coveted for its mineral resources: Neutral Moresnet—a forgotten “mini-state” and “no man’s land” between Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Discover zinc, the “plastic of the 19th century,” mining, and the fascinating world of minerals. What does Kelmis have to do with Napoleon’s bathtub? Why was the “tri-border area” actually once a “four-border area”? You’ll find the answers and other exciting stories at the Vieille Montagne Museum—interactive and engaging for all ages.
