Musee des arts et Metiers
 Musee-des-arts-et-Metiers by Wikipedia
One of the most fascinating collections of scientific devices and first working inventions that shaped the modern world. While it owns more than 80,000 objects and 15,000 drawings, the museum only displays 2,500 of these, with some of the most groundbreaking inventions out for the public eye. Started in 1794, the museum has acquired some of the most notable world-changing articles spanning several centuries.
Among the memorable artifacts are: Clement Ader’s Avion III - one of the world’s first working airplanes, a pair of rectangular binoculars from 1681, an original Foucault Pendulum, the original model of the Statue of Liberty (called the Liberty Enlightening the World), and the first mechanical calculator. The museum houses seven different categories of collections: Transportation, Communication, Energy, Mechanics, Materials, Construction, and Scientific Instruments. |
