Welcome to the wonderful world of science.
And good news, everyone! It wants to be your friend!
For those familiar with Chicago, think of the palais as an updated museum of science in industry. There is a bit more fun and art within the exhibits. Also in Paris fashion, its abode is magnificent.
The exhibits are standard science fare: the human body, the solar system, geology, mathematics. Many of the exhibits are from a historical perspective. Meaning, what we as humans discovered at what point in time.
There is an interesting temporary exhibition on climate change. This was not solely about current climate change, but encapsulated elements of the earth’s position in the solar system as well as tilt of its axis. The exhibit also included millions of years of climate change on earth to provide context for current dilemmas.
There was also a photographical exhibition on volcanoes and geology. The pictures were stunning, and it was a good introduction to the different types of geological activity that involves heat and explosions.
Activity best viewed from afar.
If you like science, it is a good place to get a refresher, see some history, and sprinkle a few new bits of knowledge into what you know. The museum is appropriately sized and you will be able to do most of it in about 3 hours. It is near the heart and walking distance to a lot of other sights. It is not a must, but is worth consideration before the final cut.
