The Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie is the biggest science museum in Europe. It is a public establishment of an industrial and commercial character specializing in the fostering of scientific and technical culture. Created on the initiative of President Giscard d'Estaing, its goal is to spread scientific and technical knowledge among the public, particularly for youth, and for creating public interest in science, research, and industry.
It is located in Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondisement of Paris, France. It is at the heart of the Cultural Center of Science, Technology and Industry (CCSTI), a location for the popularization of scientific culture and technique.
The most notable features of the "bioclimatic facade" facing the park are Les Serrres - three greenhouse spaces each 20 metres high and 8 metres wide and 20 metres deep. The facades of Les Serres were the first structural glass walls to be constructed without framing or supporting fins.
About five million people visit the Cité each year. The Cité has a planetarium, a submarine (the Argonaute (S636)), an IMAX theatre (La Géode) and special departments for children and teenagers.

Car models, the helecopter and the information provided by you about the biggest science museum are quiet interesting. Another interesting thing to note is the picture of Symphony holding the planet earth on her left palm, here by breaking the mythical hero Hercules record, who had lifted the earth by both arms balancing it over his shoulder. Above all the cheerful smile of Symphony in the picture ... is a treat to watch.
