19èME ARRONDISSEMENT. Occupying the site of a former slaughterhouse, this museum of science and technology acts with a more benign hand these days. The incredible site includes a metallic sphere, an artificial river, and light-filled greenhouses. Exhibits run the gamut of scientific exploration, touching on medicine, technology, industry, space, botany and more. An interactive children's area even lets young folks make their own discoveries about the physical world through play and experimentation. Great for the entire family.
