Do we need to book the activities?

No. The activities run without reservations, first come first served while spots last. You still need a museum entry ticket, which you can buy on the museum's online ticket shop.

What else is there to see at the museum that weekend?

Zeus, the mechanical horse from the Olympics opening ceremony, stands on the museum forecourt and comes to life every 20 minutes. Inside, the Lady Liberté exhibition goes behind the scenes of building the Statue of Liberty, with video projections and 3D displays.

About

The Musée des Arts et Métiers hands the weekend over to Gaston Lagaffe, the famous bungler of the Journal Spirou, to mark the release of his 23rd book, "Des boum et des Paf". Kids play a big game set in the Spirou newsroom, watch science experiments in Gaston's Lab, take on drawing battles and quizzes around the museum, then tinker with their own inventions in Gaston's Workshop.
