The Nuit des Musées at the Palais de la Découverte promises to be an exciting one, with plenty of activities planned for visitors. A science museum located in the 8tharrondissement, the Palais de la Découverte is one of the city's most fascinating sites, offering a multitude of interactive experiences for all ages, children and adults alike.
Inaugurated in 1937 to coincide with the Universal Exhibition, the Palais de la Découverte was created to make science accessible to all, with permanent and temporary exhibitions on physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and astronomy. Children can also take part in educational workshops. An ideal place to learn and have fun at the same time!
Remarkable for its Art Deco architecture, the Palais de la Découverte is one of the most significant examples of this era's architecture in Paris. Please note, however, that as the historic building is undergoing renovation until 2025, the Nuit des Musées 2025 will indeed be held on May 17, but at the Etincelles du Palais de la Découverte, the Palais' off-wall structure, in the 15th arrondissement!
