Discover how the Palace of Versailles used science as a tool of power in this illuminating new exhibition. From iconic royal residence of the past, to Olympic and Paralympic venue today, the Palace of Versailles is famous around the world for its opulent architecture and rich history. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it also became a major site of scientific thinking. Opening this December, Versailles: Science and Splendour will explore the important role science played at the Palace.
Visitors will be transported to the world of the French royal court to discover spectacular objects including Louis XV’s rhinoceros, an extraordinarily detailed map of the moon by Jean-Dominique Cassini and a beautiful sculptural clock evoking the creation of the world. The exhibition presents significant figures associated with the pursuit of knowledge at Versailles, including the pioneering Madame du Coudray, who trained thousands of midwives across rural France.

放飞自我去游玩

The museum is hidden in a white building with a long history. It was founded in 1857. The first floor of the entrance is standing with many large power machinery. Six large steam engines are performed twice a day. Unfortunately, we did not catch up. The steel industry is on display in the front hall on the second floor. Glass industrial machine tools and tools, as well as textile machinery, typewriters and printing machinery. There is also a ship history exhibition, there are aircraft and rockets in the aviation exhibition hall, there is also a computer exhibition hall, and there are also content on optical, electromagnetic, seismic observation, communication and aviation, as well as collections of medical history. We are dazzled and feel that there is too little time and it is not enough.

小菜一碟

I met Teacher Diana at the British Museum. She was knowledgeable, humorous, and professional. The two hours passed quickly. For a large museum like this, it is recommended to find a professional guide so that you can get the essence quickly and well!

it&rsquo;s probably one of the must-see spots in London! There were so many tourists there so you&rsquo;d feel it easy to ask someone to take a pic lol Not just the building itself but you can walk through the park to get this place and it was very calming and nice spot for a picnic if it&rsquo;s sunny!

Security check takes time. You can climb to the top to look into the distance. You can also go to the basement of the church to have a look. It is the first stop in London.
