The Greenwich meridian room

With the aid of an interactive globe and multimedia, you can set off in the footsteps of the great scientists of the 18th and 19th centuries on the hunt for longitude: an exciting adventure where Men had to confront a thousand dangers and go beyond the knowledge of their time to find a reliable means of measuring longitude at sea.

This room devoted to the Greenwich Meridian which passes through Villers, gives an intimate setting for the lovely naval objects from the Paris Observatory and Paleospace’s own collections.
