Exhibition topics proposed by companies

The aim of these exhibitions is to present company "know-how" by showing the scientific, technological, and human achievements of companies, as well as their role in, their impact on, and their contributions to the great scientific issues of the day.

Even though these exhibitions are initially proposed by companies, which thereafter supply the contents, the Cité's staff maintains control of the editorial content and museography. With this, companies have found a new way to communicate that is neither commercial nor promotional and that coincides with the social and public concerns of science museums.

 

Some examples :
  • « Decoding the Hair » (2001), with L'Oreal.
  • « All about Trains » (2002), with the SNCF.
  • « The Engineering of Tires » (1999), with Michelin.
  • « Operation Carbon » (2005), about a scientific project sponsored by Peugeot in Brazil.
  • « Tout capter » (2005), with Orange.
  • « Biometry » (2006), with Sagem Défense security from the Safran group.
