Salt worker, Salt Museum, Great Saltworks, Salins-les-Bains, Burgundy, France

Salt worker in the Projection Room in the Museum of Salt or Musee du Sel, designed by architects Malcotti-Roussey and opened May 2009, in the Great Saltworks at Salins-les-Bains, Jura, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. 15th century saltworks were replaced by these industrial buildings in the 18th century, where saline water was pumped from underground wells and evaporated using huge furnaces in the stove room to form salt. Saline water was also piped from here from 1780 until 1895 through 21km of wood then cast iron pipes to the Royal Saltworks or Saline Royale at Arc-et-Senans to be processed. The saltworks at Salins-les-Bains ceased production in 1962 and are now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
