Now that's what I call a museum...


My favourite metro station  'Art et Metiers' leads you eventually  to the museum of the same name where you will find housed partly in a wonderful church (which would be worth seeing on its own) a fabulous collection of scientific and mechanical inventions displayed in an incredible way.





The museum also displays the original model of ‘Foucault'sPendulum’ in the apse of the church


Great place for kids young and old.

Retro metro...


On Saturday my tired feet - and line 11 of Paris's metro system, took me to my favourite station 'Arts et Metiers' which was revamped back in 1994,to a design by Belgian comic artist François Schuite in conjunction with the nearby museum of the same name...inspirational.
