A heritage at the service of today\u2019s challenges<\/h2>\n

Throughout the visit, discover how the history of the School is fully integrated into contemporary issues. Ecological transition, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, mineral resources, health or industrial sovereignty: the research conducted at Mines Paris \u2013 PSL answers the major scientific, technological and societal questions of our time.<\/p>\n

Mediation panels and videos will punctuate the course to highlight this research work and show how an establishment founded in the 18th century continues to invent tomorrow\u2019s solutions, in close partnership with industrial and institutional actors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me<\/h2>\n

Since 1815, Mines Paris \u2013 PSL has been housed in the H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me, a private mansion built at the beginning of the 18th century and gradually extended in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1783 by Louis XVI on the advice of the chemist and mineralogist Balthazar Sage, the school responded to the strategic needs of the French mining industry.<\/p>\n

Today, true to this tradition of scientific excellence at the service of society, Mines Paris \u2013 PSL trains engineers, researchers and entrepreneurs who will contribute to meeting the major challenges of the 21st century. Its historic building bears witness to this evolution and tells more than two centuries of scientific history.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The library<\/h2>\n

With its monumental glass roof and beautiful woodwork, the library is one of the most remarkable spaces of the school. It preserves an important documentary heritage composed of ancient works and rare collections, while relying today on vast digital resources.<\/p>\n

A true crossroads of knowledge produced by training and research, it participates in the dissemination, conservation and enhancement of scientific knowledge developed within Mines Paris \u2013 PSL.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Mineralogy museum<\/h2>\n

Created more than two centuries ago, the Museum of Mineralogy houses one of the most important mineralogical collections in the world. It brings together nearly 100,000 samples, including about 5,000 exposed: minerals, rocks, meteorites, gems and fossils.<\/p>\n

Beyond the rich heritage of its collections, the museum sheds light on fully contemporary issues, notably those related to critical metals, rare earths and the sustainable management of mineral resources essential for the energy and digital transitions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The school’s garden<\/h2>\n

Exceptionally open to the public on the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Jardin de l’Ecole offers a moment of calm in the heart of the 6th arrondissement of Paris. From this usually inaccessible space, visitors will be able to admire the rear facade of the H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me, its terrace, as well as privileged views of the Luxembourg garden and the Senate greenhouses.<\/p>\n
