A museum that traces the history of the police, housing evidence and archives relating to major trials.
Located in the Hôtel de Police in the 5th and 6th arrondissements, the Musée de la Préfecture de Police takes you to the heart of the history of the Paris police force, from the creation of the lieutenancy general under Louis XIV to the present day. Through exhibits, archive documents, photographs, equipment, and uniforms, you'll also discover the story of emblematic figures (Vidocq, Prefect Louis Lépine, Landru, Doctor Petiot...).

A police station atmosphere guaranteed as you pass through the police station to enter the museum. The museum is very complete, with archives, period costumes and period weapons. There is a section dedicated to forensic science.
It's a shame they don't have captions in English.
Celle-ci était animée par un ancien du 36 Quai des Orfèvres qui nous a expliqué de manière théorique les différentes étapes d'une enquête judiciaire tout en illustrant celles-ci avec des cas pratiques sur lesquels il avait travaillé.
Une conférence passionnante animée par quelqu'un de passionné. Je recommande vivement !
Très bonne documentation
J y reviendrais
Captivante visite qui aurait pu durer 4H sans qu'on se lasse ????
Il y a aussi une expo temporaire en fin de parcours & plus si affinité : newletters du musée pour celles.ceux qui y laissent leur adresse mail (nottament pour les conférences à venir)
