The Musée des Arts et Métiers, founded in 1794, holds one of the oldest collections of scientific instruments and industrial machines in the world. Foucault's pendulum hangs in the deconsecrated church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs amid early aircraft and automobiles. Galleries trace instruments, materials, energy, mechanics, construction, communication, and transport.
