Program Description

Visit the Musée des Arts et Métiers, Europe's oldest science and technology museum, and explore the inventions that shaped the modern world. This fascinating museum showcases the history of scientific discovery, industrial innovation and technological progress through an exceptional collection of historic artefacts.

Among its highlights is the famous Foucault pendulum, which famously demonstrated the Earth's rotation. You will also see the original model of the Statue of Liberty, some of the earliest aircraft, and Pascal's Pascaline – the world's first mechanical calculator.

As you explore the museum, you will discover historic clocks, astrolabes, celestial globes, early flying machines and many other remarkable inventions that transformed science, engineering and everyday life.

This experience is an excellent choice for anyone interested in history, innovation and the evolution of technology.
