Nimy: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Nimy is a section of the city of Mons, located in the Walloon region of Belgium. The area is situated along the Nimy-Blaton-Péronnes Canal, which has played a significant role in its industrial development.

Historically, Nimy was known for its pottery and ceramics industry, particularly the production of fine earthenware during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The area gained historical significance during World War I, as it was the site of the first British engagement of the war at the Battle of Mons in 1914.

Today, Nimy maintains its cultural heritage while being an integral part of the greater Mons metropolitan area, which serves as an important cultural and educational center with its university and various cultural institutions.
