About Musée Pasteur
The Musée Pasteur is located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris and is dedicated to the French scientist Louis Pasteur. Opened in 1935 and housed within the Institut Pasteur, the museum lets you tour the apartment where Pasteur spent the last years of his life. One particular highlight is a room displaying about a thousand scientific instruments. The building also contains the Neo-Byzantine chapel where the famous researcher is buried. The complex was designated a historic monument in 1981 and is open daily during the warmer months for an admission fee.

The Pasteur Museum is housed in the apartment where the great scientist spent the last 7 years of his life. Hardly touched since that time, the museum is full of personal memorabilia and scientific instruments. Pasteur is buried on the grounds in a flamboyant mosaic-decorated mausoleum. The museum was closed to individual visitors for security reasons after the 13th November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks.
