Musée Moissan

The museum houses laboratory equipment, research documents, and scientific medals within a building of the Faculty of Pharmacy at a central Paris location. The displays show tools and materials from the scientific work that took place on these premises.

The site was established in 1925 as a memorial to a Nobel laureate who made a groundbreaking chemical discovery in the late 1800s. The collection preserves records of that scientific achievement and the research methods of the era.

The collection celebrates a Nobel laureate whose discoveries shaped modern chemistry and pharmacy. You can see how laboratory work was conducted in the past and understand why this research mattered for pharmaceutical development.

Admission is free, but the museum is located within a Faculty building and requires advance arrangement to visit. Planning your visit on a weekday and contacting the facility ahead of time will ensure you can access the space.

The display includes actual measuring instruments and experimental apparatus from the original laboratory spaces. These objects show how groundbreaking discoveries were made with comparatively simple tools and methods.
