In January 2010 the museum was merged with the Cite des Sciences et de l’Industrie. The new institution is named universcience.Today the museum contains permanent exhibits for mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, featuring interactive experiments with commentaries by lecturers. It includes a Zeiss planetarium with 15-meter dome. Official Site is www.palais-decouverte.fr. (Text Source: Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)
