Titre : Consideration of safety through maintenance: the City of Sciences and Industry of Paris Auteurs : Claude Fournier, Revue : Technology and Innovation Numéro : Issue 1 Volume : 2 Date : 2017/01/13 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2017.0105 ISSN : 2399-8571 Résumé : The success of the “Cité des sciences et de l’Industrie” museum in accommodating the visiting public was possible thanks to the high standards adopted in its elaborate structural and architectural features. The purpose of this article is to present a little-known face of the birth of this great project, sometimes pictorially called "the work of the trimmers". This article discusses how well the safety of individuals and of materials was managed through its maintenance policy considering that, at the time, this museum, capable of accommodating millions of visitors, was in fact mainly considered to be an industrial feat whose practices and management were in total rupture from any cultural practices of that time.
