Phénomène et énergie naturelle, les potentialités de la géothermie sont utilisées dans de nombreux domaines.
Les différentes salles du musée relatent donc l'histoire de cette énergie et de ses différentes utilisations, des sous-sols terrestres jusque dans l'espace.

[EN] If Géothermia is unique in France, it is because it is in Chaudes-Aigues and nowhere else that chose to spring naturally the hottest waters of Europe (82°C).
