• Medal-making workshop from age 7: a short museum tour, then drawing, stamping and engraving a medal to take home (separate activity ticket)
• Foundry and engraving in action, visible from the museum route, with regular engraving demonstrations where kids can ask the craftsmen questions
• Scaffolding at the entrances during building works, but the museum keeps its usual hours

The museum of the Paris Mint sits inside a working factory on the Seine. Kids look onto the engraving and foundry workshops, often catch a live engraving demonstration, and try striking coins at interactive stations.

The route is built for touch, smell and sound as well as looking, and the collection runs to 170,000 coins, medals, tools and old minting machines.
