This historical science museum really captured the interest of my engineering family. It has seven sections: scientific instruments, materials, energy, mechanics, construction, communication and transport. I liked the intricacy of the instruments; my family especially enjoyed the mechanical displays of levers, steam engines and other devices. There are displays on famous scientists and inventors where their laboratories are recreated for you to view. The section in the church has a Foucault pendulum in operation and an extensive multi-level transport and aircraft display which you can view from various walkways.

Very interesting museum covering the history of measurements, clocks, mechanical machinery, clocks, nautical science, etc.. Highly recommend getting the audio guide (available in French, English, Spanish, Chinese, German, Japanese, and Italian). Museum is on three floors - accessible via lift or stairs. There's also a cafe on site with some light foodfare options. The displays are interesting and the ending portion inside the former church which now houses some vehicles, has a swing pendulum which is great to see. Very small giftshop - mostly books - at the end of the tour. An informative visit.

This old museum displays techniques and scientific discoveries in historical fashion. Many of the artifacts such as advanced clocks have artistic appeal. To modernize the museum there are video displays near some of the show cases, unfortunately many of them are out of order. The Foucault pendulum is still there.

What an interesting place! It begins with measurement, and they have a much of old measuring devices, clocks, barometers, etc. Then it proceeds to the development of manufacturing, communications, mechanics, energy and transportation. They have a lot of old scientific instruments and some new stuff. It's not crowded, so it was easy to stroll around and really look at stuff. If you have any interest in the history of technology, you will enjoy this place.

I definitely should have brought my husband here in 2016 - he loves anything related to physics and gadgets. To me, the most fascinating objects were the reduced size weaving machines, completely threaded and woven fabric extruding at the end. And seeing Foucault's pendulum was a magical experience for me. I was here over two hours - so much to see and absorb. Such a wonderful place to see the progression of human inventions. Definitely worth a visit!

This is an absolute must-see for anyone mildly interested in technology. The place is huge and full of amazing objects from throughout History. From ancient measuring devices, to mainframes and even space landers. This place has it all! Set aside no less than 3 hours to visit this museum.

We spent a good 3 - 4 hours in this museum today & loved it. There is a wonderful array of exhibits which covered the history of all sorts of inventions & industrial devices- coming from the 15th century to today. The highlights for us were the 2nd floor with the Scientific Instruments & Materials galleries - and the ground floor / church which housed transport exhibits all the way from a Model T to a F1 race car. The museum is in a lovely old building & the church has spectacular stained glass windows. It is a quiet museum- we went on a Wednesday morning & there wouldn’t have been more than 10 - 15 visitors, and we seemed to be the only foreign visitors. I highly recommend this museum & thoroughly enjoyed our visit
