For the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days), science enthusiasts are invited to the MINES ParisTech engineering school in the 6th arrondissement, to discover the school and its Musée de Minéralogie, on Saturday September 16 and Sunday September 17, 2023. Located in the heart of theHôtel de Vendôme, just a stone's throw from the Luxembourg Gardens, one of France's top engineering schools is waiting to reveal its secrets.
Established over 200 years ago in the heart of the Latin Quarter, the school also offers its students and teacher-researchers an idyllic setting in which to study and work! The grand staircase leading to the Musée de Minéralogie, with its mineral decor, is home to Claude Hugard de la Tour 's 1855 paintings depicting the "spectacle of nature"; andAlexandre Denis Abel de Pujol's frescoes, allegories of knowledge, science and industry. In the form of a winged young woman draped in antique style, Science crowns the assembly of scientists"who have distinguished themselves in geology and mineralogy".
A great opportunity to discover this beautiful place and learn all about mineralogy. And if not, we'll take the opportunity to discover the Bibliothèque de l'École des Mines, theHôtel de Vendôme and the library of the École des Mines. Shall we go?
