Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, Science museum in La Villette, Paris, France.
The Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie features interactive exhibitions across multiple floors, dedicated spaces for children, and a large planetarium for astronomical discoveries.
The building, inaugurated in 1986, transformed the former La Villette slaughterhouse site into a major scientific institution through an innovative architectural conversion project.
The museum connects science with society through exhibitions on climate change, space exploration, robotics, and human biology, making complex subjects accessible to visitors.
Located at 30 Avenue Corentin Cariou, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with special rates for children under 2 years.
The Cité des Enfants splits into two age-specific zones, offering hands-on scientific experiments and learning spaces designed for children aged 2-7 and 5-12 years.
