This visit allows the public to discover an exceptional heritage: its library, its museum of mineralogy, its garden, but also the main current orientations of the School. This 2025 edition offers a free and open course. Ranked among the oldest engineering schools in France, Mines Paris \u2013 PSL combines historical heritage and cutting-edge scientific research, inscribing its history in the continuity of a living heritage gesture: that of a science at the service of society.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"container block-full-largeur\">\n\t<div class=\"row mt-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Cutting-edge research, at the service of current issues<\/h3>\n<p>Visitors will discover how the school\u2019s heritage resonates with today\u2019s major scientific challenges: ecological transition, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, mineral resources, health&#8230; A research with double impact, nourished by the constant dialogue between science and industry. Throughout the course, mediation panels will highlight the contemporary challenges faced by Mines Paris \u2013 PSL. The scientific excellence of the School is thus anchored in the continuity of its history, at the very heart of the heritage site of the H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The school has been located since 1815 in the H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me, dating from the very beginning of the 18th century and which was enlarged in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1783 by Louis XVI on the advice of Balthazar Sage, a French chemist and mineralogist, it responded to the growing needs of the mining industry, a strategic sector for France. True to this legacy of science serving society, Mines Paris \u2013 PSL has adapted and is now training students to meet today\u2019s major challenges. Its heritage building presents these major historical milestones, and today reflects this evolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The library<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With its glass roof and classified woodwork, the library is one of the hidden gems of the school. In addition to storing rare books, it benefits from a huge digital database. It is now a true aggregator of knowledge from training and research, ensuring the traceability and independence of scientific knowledge produced by the School.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Museum of Mineralogy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more than 200 years, the museum\u2019s mineralogical collections have been among the most complete and spectacular in the world. They contain some 100,000 samples, of which 4,000 are displayed: minerals, rocks, meteorites, and precious stones \u2013 including gems from the Crown Jewels of France \u2013 are exhibited in a gallery bearing an invaluable historical and patrimonial stamp. Anchored in the news, the museum raises awareness of issues related to rare earths and the management of mineral resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The school garden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Usually closed to the public, this haven of greenery, located on a privileged location in the heart of the 6th arrondissement and offering views of the rear facade and terrace of the building, as well as a glimpse of the Luxembourg Garden and the Senate greenhouses, will be accessible for a contemplative break within this historic site.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"container block-full-largeur\">\n\t<div class=\"row mt-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Heritage Days in our PSL University<\/h2>\n<p>PSL University participates in the European Heritage Days.
