Pipes and tank, Salt Museum, Great Saltworks, Salins-les-Bains, Burgundy, France

Limestone brine tank used to control the flow of saline water through the dual pipeline system used from 1780 until 1895 to pipe brine to the Royal Saltworks or Saline Royale at Arc-et-Senans, 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. The saltworks at Salins-les-Bains ceased production in 1962 and are now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
