Musée des Arts et Métiers

Here's an inventive idea – enjoy a spot of Parisian culture without being triggered by the tourist mob! Walk away from the busy boulevards and discover one of the city's true hidden gems at the Musée des Arts et Métiers. Like wandering through the workshop of a mad scientist, Europe's oldest science museum is filled with fascinating inventions, contraptions, and technological marvels of the past. See astrolabes, celestial spheres, flying machines, clocks, a Foucault pendulum, and more!
