When we found that out, we spent 1.5 days going through all the presentations they had during the Xmas holidays, and we saw most but not all of the static exhibits:

it is located at the back of the grand palais, an iconic building in Paris

The different presentations were definitely a highlight:

exhibits on magnetism, showing magnets lose their properties when they are too warm

more interesting: stream of liquid gas is susceptible to magnetism

supraconductive material, when cooled sufficiently will stay in a magnetic equilibrium

The museum's high power experiments (static electricity and electro magnets) have been there forever and are always a favourite:

nice generator, 330kV

go big, or go home

induced electric currents from magnetism allow for levitation, and it's hot

There were lots of other exhibit of course:

it's all about density, yes this is real water and a real bowling ball

Multiple sections on animals

the ants exhibit was cool

the queen

termites too

the octopus demo was cool too

it gets to open a jar with a crab inside

and eat the yummy crab

The 2nd day, we came at opening time to see some static exhibits before the presentations started:

We then went to see the excellent supraconductivity:

and then came the time for the full scale maglev demo

a bit of time to cool down the supraconductive magnets

and then it was Jennifer's turn:

There plenty of other presentations:

turning gas into solid

oxygen in the air liquefies first, and causes flammable liquid

safety goggles are for other people :)

they had bucket fulls of liquid gas to play with

After 1.5 days, we didn't quite get the time to see it all, but we made a good dent. The staff and demonstrator were awesome. I'm really sad that this museum will close forever in less tha na year.
