The Great Engine
The BBC-Sulzer Great Engine is the Museum's prized possession. Built in 1901, this steam engine of 170 tons drove a BBC alternator which supplied electricity for the D.M.C. company at Mulhouse until 1947. After many years of inactivity, it was decided that this would be kept as part of the Museum's technical and industrial heritage.

Discover the brand new show "A machine and men", several times a day. This multimedia show presents the Great Machine using dynamic lighting and special effects which thrust the visitor into the history of a working class family in Mulhouse connected to the history of the Great Machine
