After extensive renovation works, the Palace of Discovery reopens in summer 2025. Students will enjoy a wide range of experiments, study at close hand devices such as a stroboscopic fountain and static electricity, be transported to the bottom of the ocean, or see into space in the brand new planetarium with a 15-metre dome.
Your students will be challenged to manipulate, observe and question in order to understand scientific phenomena at this interactive museum for the discovery of science. The permanent exhibitions includes 50 scientific experiments on the themes of Energy, Movement, Optical Illusions, Climate and weather, and Structure and Shapes.
Take your group to see at first hand the world’s oldest collection of industrial and technological artefacts exhibited by theme: scientific instruments, materials, construction, communications, energy, mechanics and transport.

Your students will love the holograms and optical illusions here, and will learn that what you think you see, and what you actually see, can be two totally different concepts. There are plenty of opportunities for selfies!
Maison Poincaré is the first Maths museum in France and opened in 2023. It aims to approach maths through fun experimentation rather than formulas. Your students can explore Maths problems through other disciplines such as Art, Geography, and History, and see how maths is applied in everyday life. AI, photography, music and probability are also examined. Advance bookings required well in advance for school groups.
