SCI MLP

I was here in 2013 and enjoyed my visit very much. I like these old showcases! While living in Norway, I really wanted to see what they had of norwegian minerals. It was especially their thortveitite crystal from my hometown that was worth seeing. Overall, highly recommended!

If you like geology and rocks, this is the museum to visit in Paris. The entrance fees for students were a mere 6 Euros, and it gives you access to a stunning collection of gems, rocks and minerals. The staff that works here is exceptional and very informative. A bit of a trek to find, given its located deep within the Engineering building, but totally worth it. The building itself is beautifully maintained, reminded me of McGill, back home. I'm not a big rock lover, and I still managed to have a good time!

Top engineering school in the world, member of PSL university. One of the very few engineering school in Paris city center, just aside Park of Luxembourg. Its mineral museum is the cherry on the cake, it's open to public and worth a visit

Good location and history..but there is not refrigerator...

A French engineering school, with very nice building from 1800s and a mineral museum inside.

Simply the best engineering school in the world. Smartests guys go there.

respected educational institution

J'ai eu la chance de visiter l'École des Mines de Paris lors des dernières Journées du Patrimoine le 22 septembre 2024. L'entrée était gratuite et nous avons pu visiter sa belle (mais relativement petite) bibliothèque ainsi que son Musée de Minéralogie. Ce dernier étant immense et impressionnant avec de vastes collections d'échantillons minéralogiques de toutes sortes. Roches, pierres précieuses et même roches de la lune et météorites.
