Asturias Iron and Steel Museum (MUSI)

The unique truncated cone-shaped construction, 45 metres high, forms a circular space distributed over three floors and covered by a skylight that offers a vertiginous view of the walls of the great chimney.

A tour of its rooms tells us about an era and a territory marked by the great industrial adventure of Duro y Compañía, which in the mid-19th century created a pioneering iron and steel factory in La Felguera.

On the ground floor, in addition to the reception, there is a magnificent model of the factory, the development of the entire iron and steel process and the audiovisual room, where we can enjoy the projection of an explanatory video on the manufacture of steel.

On the first floor we will find panels and models together with other objects, the collection itself, which bring us closer to the territory of the Cuencas Mineras, the place of origin and development not only of mining but also of the iron and steel industry in Asturias throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. On this floor we can also contemplate the office of Mr. Pedro Duro together with some magnificent documents from the 19th century.

On the lower floor, and finally, we find the Bayer Room; an interesting space with panels showing the history of Aspirin and how the German pharmaceutical company set up a factory in the council of Llangréu / Langreo.
