Museum thematically scientific instruments, materials, construction, communications, energy, mechanics and transportation It consists of six main sections. After purchasing your ticket from the box office on the left at the entrance, we start visiting the museum from the top floor by taking the elevators to the roof on the right. In this section, many different objects such as scientific instruments, first measuring instruments, and astronomy instruments are exhibited. Walking around the rooftop of such a building will be as interesting as the objects on display.

As you start to move down the corridor and move from hall to hall, you realize what a magnificent structure, how special and how valuable the historical scientific objects you are seeing. In the last sections of the first floor, there are materials and tools that will attract the attention of textile manufacturers and especially textile engineers. At the end of this floor, there are exhibitions about materials and recycling that will attract the attention of children.

When you finish the top floor, you go down the stairs one floor. I suggest you turn left from the section you landed on and enter through this door. This section is a very special hall designed on construction techniques. If you are an architecture enthusiast like me and have spent most of your life drawing - even for hobby purposes - I think you will not be able to finish this hall easily.

This hall also has an upper floor, I recommend you go up the spiral staircase to this floor as well. This mezzanine floor contains details from models of historical construction projects carried out in France. Believe me, I could spend hours in front of each model.

When you go down the spiral stairs again, you continue your tour on the left. At the end of this hall, it looks like the tour route ends and you think you have to turn back, but don't let this fool you. If you turn right at the end and continue your trip Contact You reach the large hall in the topic title.

What's missing in this episode... First voice recorders, cameras, first televisions, telephones and even computers. You see the photo above Commodore 64 My heart fluttered when I saw the model computer. We spent little time and played with this miraculous device. Now, where has technology come from (and where will it go yet)? Likewise, it was very special for me to see the Spectrum computer I first used as a child here. The first time I saw this computer in a museum was at the Science Museum in London. first then now museum I had the feeling that I was, and this was the second one :)

With this link energy You are moving to the themed hall, where it will be very impressive to see the first examples of diesel, gasoline and gas engines. I think mechanical engineers, in particular, will experience emotional intensity in this section. Yes, even if they don't show it, mechanical engineers emotional It's people 🙂

When you walk around the museum, which seems small when you look from the outside, you realize how big it is and after a while you start to get really tired. However, every hall you enter welcomes you with works that are as important or even more important than the previous one. Last section on this floor mechanics bears the subject title. After completing this section, you go down the stairs to the bottom floor, the ground floor. The museum's cafe is on the left. The ship model in the middle of the cafe is very nice. Also, this is one of the last sections you will visit on this floor. transport vehicles bears the subject title. In addition to cars and bicycles, airplane and train models will attract the attention of both adults and children.

After finishing this section, we reach the section where the church is at the last stop of our trip. Here, both the space itself and the planes hanging from the ceiling look very magical. Also, if you want to see the classic cars or even a race car on the big pier you see on the right, you have to wait in line at the ramp on the left, because you are allowed to go there in groups of twenty. Watching from above is a different pleasure.

After completing this pier, you can see the classic vehicles, tractors below and the one in the middle. Foucault's PendulumYou can check out. You know, this pendulum PantheonThere is also… If you walk south after leaving the museum, Marais DistrictIt reaches , where you can have the chance to breathe the atmosphere of one of the most colorful and lively corners of Paris.
