Musée Des Arts Et Métiers

Unclaimed

Cool museum focused on technological innovation and engineering sciences. Really enjoyed the presentation of scientific instruments over the years. The main focus, however, is the converted church which holds the Foucault pendulum and various machines over three levels. Great little outing, with some interactive elements, although for a science museum the staff did not particularly foster an environment for awe, discovery and discussions as they regularly requested for silence.

A fantastic museum housed across several adjoining buildings. The star is the Saint Martin church which has been emptied of its interior and has planes cars and a jet engine installed. There is Foucault’s pendulum and a massive ramp and steel stairs that take you to other vehicles I. The air. Truly stunning. The rest of the museum is great too with mechanical instruments and vehicles and in the temporary space an exploration carbon and our energy consumption. There is a small shop. Entry is free on a Friday 6pm-9pm.

Lots to see , some really good models of mechanics, worth seeing the pendulum. good general layout and plenty of places to SIT take notes other places. And some really well priced books in what is a small shop. But no food available at this time and to many lifts not working.

Best museum in Paris for an inventor, engineer or science person! Personally I got there early when it was mostly empty & absolutely loved this museum! The interactive displays were great, although I wish they had more because I couldn't get enough.

Free on each months first Sunday! Very cool museum to go and feel curious. Must be very good for children
