Paris match for online challenge: Museums and libraries embrace new communication

摘要

Think of Paris and sights that immediately spring to mind might be the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame or the Champs-Elysees. However, there are other attractions which offer tourism of a more scientific nature, extending the invitation to "Comprendre les sciences et leurs enjeux!" ("Understand sciences and their challenges"). The Palais de la Decouverte and the Cite des Sciences et de I'industrie (CSI) - now brought together as "Universcience" - have each developed a specific scientific and technical museology. As its website (http://www.universcience.fr/accueil) proudly proclaims, the approach of the globally-recognised organisation is based on the key role of explainers and active visitor involvement and "aims to be an essential reference tool for scientific discussion and creativity through its universcience.fr web portal."
