Sciences

Sciences and Industry Museum

At the heart of the largest landscaped park in Paris, there is an original and spectacular place. You just have to step foot inside to explore the countless secrets of science, to multiply unusual experiences, to dive into the infinite possibilities of image...

At the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, curiosity brings children and adults to thousands of joys of discovery. 

The Cité des Enfants offers two exhibitions (2-7yrs and 5-12yrs) to learn whilst playing: you can build a house, play with water fountains and much more in the recently renovated Cité. Even parents will find it hard to leave!

Mineralogy & Geology Gallery

This museography in the giant crystal room enables visitors to admire the giant crystals!

The exhibition will explain the nature of minerals and the range of shapes and colours, before focusing on precious minerals and the collection’s origins. It will display prestigious pieces: rocks that have fallen from the sky (meteorites), minerals of all colours, in their natural form as well as those cut by man, a symbol of power for some and the subject of scientific studies.
