The eldest was very happy to make these... he was very precious about them...

Musée des Arts et Métiers

Today we visited the Musée des Arts et Métiers, in Paris 3e. It has a great collection of machines from agriculture, transport, industrial revolution, communications, etc. Now if you remember watching the 1970's tv art series called "Shock of the New", with art critic Robert Hughes, he started the series in the church below, where they have the planes and cars (it's been updated since then).

Boys toys everywhere...

A few hands on stations for the boys...

Inside the Church.

It's hand painted.

Outside.

The boys needed to run around after that.

Inside the gardens at the Archives Nationales.

All of the boys...

Hotel de Rohan.

Nice to see some sky and rooftops...(4th floor no lift).

On the right hand side is the rooftop of the "Place des Vosges" (not the red bricks).

Lego Construction...

I played lego with the youngest, he loves construction, so we built a house with pipes underneath for plumbing (made from drinking straws). He had such a great time.

This is a new pose...

A close up!
