Maison de l'Outil, Tool museum in Troyes, France.
The Maison de l'Outil museum displays 12,000 antique hand tools from the 17th to 19th centuries, arranged across 65 thematic exhibits inside Hotel de Mauroy.
The building, constructed in 1524 and restructured in 1556, served as an institution for teaching trades to orphans before becoming a museum in 1974.
The museum houses France's second-largest technical library with 32,000 reference books, including the first edition of Diderot and Alembert's Encyclopedia.
The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM, except Tuesdays between October and March, with guided tours available upon request.
The collection categorizes tools into four main sections: wood, iron, animal, and mineral, illustrating the evolution of human craftsmanship through centuries.
