Musée des Arts et Métiers by Beausoleil Star this if you like it!
Converted church with scientific & industrial artworks & artifacts, including Foucault's pendulum. There are all sorts of instruments of measurement, mathematics, physics, astronomy and much more. According to Wikipedia, "The Musée des Arts et Métiers is an industrial design museum in Paris that houses the collection of the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, which was founded in 1794 as a repository for the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions." I used to do weaving and thoroughly enjoyed the display of historic looms. They cut a Citroen 6 in half so you could see the inner design. There were navigation instruments throughout history and a fun display of robots including a squirrel robot that actually has a job.
