Pavillon de l'eau

The Pavillon de l'eau in Paris is a municipal museum dedicated to the history of water supply and run by the Paris water authority. Located on the grounds of a former pumping station built in the 19th century to draw water from the Seine, it now houses a permanent exhibition on the evolution of water supply from Roman antiquity to the present day. The historic complex, made up of factory buildings A and B, was designated a historic monument in 2020. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum offers rotating special exhibitions, themed events, and educational workshops and demonstrations designed especially for children.
