About the location

Musée des Arts et Métiers
60 rue Réaumur 75003 Paris
  • Paris
  • Île-de-France
The permanent exhibition of the Museum of Arts and Crafts is organized into seven thematic collections, which themselves are subdivided into four chronological periods (before 1750, 1750-1850, 1850-1950, after 1950): scientific instruments, materials, construction, communication, energy, mechanical and transport. Complementary presentations emphasize particular points: the laboratory of Lavoisier, the theatre of automata. In the old church is presented, among other things, the experience of the rotation of the earth by means of the pendulum of Leon Foucault.
