Description
Experience the fascinating history of a small territory coveted for its mineral resources: Neutral Moresnet – a “microstate” between mining center and smugglers’ haven, a “no man’s land” between Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Discover zinc, the “plastic of the 19th century,” mining, and the captivating world of minerals.
What does Kelmis have to do with Napoleon’s bathtub? And why was the Three-Country Point once actually a Four-Country Point? Find the answers to these questions – and many more exciting stories – at the Museum Vieille Montagne.
Explore the museum and discover local history where it actually happened. Also, don’t miss our fascinating temporary exhibitions on historical and contemporary topics – www.mvm-kelmis.be.
