Musée Pasteur / Maison natale de Pasteur Fermeture hivernale du 5 janvier au 6 février 2026.
The Pasteur Museum in Dole is the birthhouse where the scientist spent his childhood. The stone building displays personal belongings, early notes, and photographs that trace his path toward becoming a famous researcher.
The house was converted into a museum in 1923 and has served this purpose ever since. Pasteur himself visited the building near the end of his life and placed a plaque there to mark his birthplace.
The house carries the name of its most famous resident and serves as a reminder of how Pasteur shaped his hometown. It functions today as a place where visitors can explore how scientific discovery connects to everyday life and society.
The museum is located at 43 Rue Pasteur in central Dole and is easy to find. Guided tours can be arranged, and an audio guide is available for visitors who prefer to explore at their own pace.
The museum features a digital game where visitors of all ages can experience the challenges of developing a rabies vaccine. A free app allows visitors to explore the house before or after their visit.
