Musée du 11 Conti

The Musée du 11 Conti in Paris's 6th arrondissement is devoted to the manufacturing techniques and expertise of the French Mint. Founded in 1833 and reopened in 2017 after a comprehensive renovation, the museum displays about 1,800 exhibits across roughly 12,900 square feet. The interactive exhibition invites you to touch coins and tools, experience tactile graphics, and take in olfactory elements. Highlights include ancient Greek coins, the gold crown of Philip VI, and a platinum meter. Alongside the historic collection, you can also see the active workshops of the city's last remaining mint, making this a living window into numismatic tradition.
