Heritage Days 2024 at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Saint-Denis (93)

Are you looking for an original visit to make during this new edition of the Journées du Patrimoine? Then head for Seine-Saint-Denis, and more specifically the Réserves of the Musée des Arts et Métiers, which are opening their doors to us this Saturday, September 21, 2024. Located in Saint-Denis, this site, usually closed to the public, houses the heritage collections of the Musée des Arts et Métiers!

Take a guided tour on your own, with friends or family, and discover the aisles of the museum's conservation stores and restoration workshops. These hidden treasures allow us to learn more about the Musée des Arts et Métiers, and those who conserve and restore its heritage objects.

Here, we take a behind-the-scenes look at the conservation of a unique heritage of scientific knowledge and technical progress. Saint-Denis is home to over 80,000 objects and drawings, protected in the reserves of the Musée des Arts et Métiers. This museum is rarely open to the public, so take advantage of the Journées du Patrimoine to visit it for free!
