*Discovering a unique place*
======================================
The Musée des arts et métiers is a fabulous place. It houses a large number of historical objects representing the origins of nearly all modern technologies.
Furthermore, several mathematics-related exhibitions are currently on display there: those described above, along with an exhibition on units of measurement.
