Espace des sciences Pierre-Gilles de Gennes

The Espace des sciences Pierre-Gilles de Gennes is housed in the historic brick buildings of the ESPCI Paris engineering school. It features a bright, orange-accented interior dedicated to making complex physics and chemistry accessible through hands-on experimentation. The space carries the name of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, who served as the school's director and spent his career here studying soft matter. Visitors encounter rotating exhibits that highlight the ongoing research conducted in the surrounding laboratories.
