The Musée de la Monnaie de Paris is married to a factory: the tour offers a unique experience combining both exhibition rooms and views of some of the workshops of La Monnaie de Paris. A true sensory journey, it presents the know-how of La Monnaie de Paris and its heritage. Conceived in a universal design approach, the Museum is for everyone and invites you to be an actor of the experience to understand the backstage of this temple of the currency and the art craft.

The tour approaches different disciplines (art, science and technology, history of peoples, taste and economy, archaeology and sociology) to express the richness and diversity of the collections of the Monnaie de Paris, and to highlight the women, men and trades that guarantee the quality of production.

See, touch, listen, smell... Explore the museum's themes using all your senses, especially touch thanks to objects to touch and tactile graphics. The Musée de la Monnaie de Paris offers you a real encounter with our craftsmen through portraits, testimonies and interviews with experts and direct views of some of the workshops of the manufacture. Breathe in the scents emanating from the workshops thanks to olfactory devices, watch the preparation and casting of art castings in the Foundry, which is visible from the Museum, and take advantage of the engraving demonstrations that take place regularly.
