Arts et Metiers Museum - Building & Statue of Liberty Photos

The Arts et Metiers Museum is housed in a former Parisian religious priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs including a partially Romanesque & Gothic church which came under state control during the French Revolution. Other buildings were built under Napoleon III. The church building hosts an original scale concept model for the Statue of Liberty (La Liberté éclairant le monde) by Frédéric Auguste Barthold.
