There have been two recent descriptions by forum members who have visited former industrial sites turned into museums.
The first was @jungleboy and @Wendy Werneth’s trip to the hat museum in Sao Joao da Madeira on the Camino Portugués.
Interesting information from Nick and wendy here. More information about the museum here.
Now @filly has told us all about two museums in Ponferrada — one about energy in an old electricity building (official website here) and the other about railroads (official museum info here)
I can think of three in Lisbon.
Tram museum (about public transport in Lisbon, housed in the old facility). Sad to say I have never been.
Water museum (in two sites, very interesting, and I have been here!)
Electricity museum (never been, but I see that in addition to being housed in an old power station, there is a new very modern building that has opened nearby).
Can others think of similar industrial museums along any camino?
