Musée de l'Homme, Paris
And how does this interact with gender identities and gendered biases?
An opportunity to examine the diversity of gender representation in cognitive systems, languages and cultures.
With the help of specialists and character sheets, learn to recognize different casts of human skulls.
Discover and practice these molecular biology operations live with the Museum's scientists.
Analyzing these remains enables us to reconstruct part of the lifestyle of human groups and their relationship with the animal world.
Meet in front of the beehives in the Galerie de l'Homme for a presentation of a selection of old and new beehives from France and other countries, drawn from the Museum's reserves.
Specialists will explain the bee's habitat, life cycle and production (honey, wax, propolis).
Science enthusiasts of all ages, the Museum's researchers and scientific mediators invite you to join them for a special program of workshops.
For the occasion, the Galerie de l'Homme is exceptionally free from October 11 to 13. An opportunity to explore the great themes of humanity through three questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?
Musée des Arts et Métiers, Paris
The museum invites you to celebrate science free of charge on the weekend of October 5 and 6, 2024! Dive into an ocean of knowledge by (re)discovering our collections through flash visits, embark on the new adventures of our mascots Lucie and Lucien, or learn about the art of textile repair and embroidery.

Our heart works day and night to supply our body with the oxygen we breathe. Did you know that your heart, like your muscles and neurons, uses electrical impulses to function? In this demonstration, we'll explore our inner rhythms, and you'll see that the heart isn't the only organ that beats to time!

With Liam de Sousa, UVSQ master's student specializing in ancient history, and Laure Bonnaud-Ponticelli, professor at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. The meeting is moderated by Jean Marc Galan, science journalist.
The octopus is an animal that has always fascinated humans, whether for its appearance, its abilities or its intelligence.
In this meeting, we'll take a look at two aspects of the octopus: on the one hand, the use of this animal on amphorae in Antiquity, and on the other, we'll delve into the brain of this animal (and other cephalopods).
Join us on Saturday, October 05, 2024, from 7pm, at the Médiathèque du Canal for a Cult' Evening that will take you back into the world of Avatar 2, two years after its release. With our experts, decipher a few excerpts from one of the most emblematic and popular works of science fiction! Caroline Freissinet, CNRS researcher in planetary sciences and astrochemistry, will talk to us about extraterrestrial life and the conditions required for its existence. And of course, the Soirée Cult' includes a quiz and a gourmet break. Great atmosphere guaranteed!
In partnership with Instant Science, initiators of the Soirées Cult' projects
Some stories have no end! Such is the case with Scrappy, a little monkey who wants to leave his island. To do this, Scrappy needs the children's help to figure out how to build a boat, so he can finish the story! After telling the story to the children, our mediator invites them to test the buoyancy of various items scattered around the room. This helps them understand why some objects float and others sink, and enables them to tackle their mission together: to build a boat that can float and carry a little monkey.
This hands-on workshop puts children in the position of experimenters, awakening in them an initial understanding of the phenomenon of buoyancy, while at the same time getting them to work on their fine motor skills.
La Grande Accélération is a visual and sound installation project focusing on the evolution of melting ice. It is based on data simulating the retreat of the Ross Barrier in the Antarctic region. The aim of the project is to offer a sensitive experience of climate disruption through the evolution of an audiovisual landscape constructed from the analysis of scientific data showing glacial flow and erosion over the next 100 years.
The installation is made up of several elements that stage these data and replay the trajectories they inexorably trace. Firstly, these trajectories appear on Plexiglas plates, representing the evolution of the ice barrier. They are also drawn using clouds of video-projected particles in the exhibition space, which respond to music created in real time.
This project is financed by La Diagonale Paris-Saclay as part of theAAP Arts-Sciences-Technologies "Expérimentation 2020".
Oxygen 1 Hydrogen 2, all multiplied by hundreds of billions of billions, we get: an ocean.
But what do we know about our oceans? Apparently, we know more about the Moon than we do about the abyssal ocean floor!
You're invited to join us as we take stock of what we know, and define our priorities for tomorrow.
Conte-gouttes is a show on the theme of water, evoking its scientific properties (liquid, solid, gaseous), its natural cycle and ecological issues in a playful and poetic way.
Through short stories and anecdotes, the aim is to make children aware of the presence of water around them in all its forms, and to raise their awareness of the issues that water raises as an essential element of life.
