Minett Park Fond-de-Gras is an open-air museum in Luxembourg built around one of the country's most significant former iron-ore mining sites. Underground extraction ceased in 1955, but volunteers began running a tourist steam train, the Train 1900, in 1973, and a former mine was subsequently reopened for underground visits via the narrow-gauge Minièresbunn.

The park encompasses several sites: Fond-de-Gras, the village of Lasauvage, the former open-cast mine Giele Botter, and the Celtic oppidum of Titelberg, all linked by the theme of iron ore.
