Musée Ampère, Electricity museum in Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or, France.
The Ampère Museum exhibits electrical equipment, scientific instruments, and interactive displays across twelve exhibition rooms covering 600 square meters of space.
The museum opened in 1931 in the former residence where scientist André-Marie Ampère spent his formative years before making groundbreaking discoveries in electromagnetism.
The museum received the prestigious Maisons des Illustres designation in 2013, recognizing its role in preserving French scientific heritage through Ampère's contributions.
