Every day for 30 days we will be featuring a museum object that has inspired or intrigued us, in the hope that \u201can object a day keeps the doctor away.\u201d We love creating exciting, meaningful storytelling through engaging experiences, but still firmly believe that it is hard to beat the thrill of being in the presence of authentic artefacts. Today\u2019s object is: Foucault’s pendulum at the Panth\u00e9on, Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foucault’s most famous pendulum hangs from the dome of the Panth\u00e9on in Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Foucault’s pendulum in the Panth\u00e9on in Paris is both a science exhibit and a replica artifact. He made his most famous pendulum in 1851 when he suspended a 28-kilogram (62\u00a0lb) brass-coated lead\u00a0bob\u00a0from a 67-metre long (220\u00a0ft) wire from the dome. It simply and fascinatingly demonstrates the fact of the Earth’s rotation and has become a popular science exhibit in museums around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During museum reconstruction in the 1990s, the original pendulum was temporarily displayed at the Panth\u00e9on (1995), but was later returned to the\u00a0Mus\u00e9e des Arts et M\u00e9tiers<\/a>\u00a0before it reopened in 2000.\u00a0On April 6, 2010, the cable suspending the bob in the Mus\u00e9e des Arts et M\u00e9tiers snapped, causing irreparable damage to the pendulum bob and to the marble flooring of the museum.\u00a0The original, now damaged, pendulum bob is displayed in a separate case adjacent to the current pendulum display. An exact copy of the original pendulum has been operating under the dome of the Panth\u00e9on since 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Panth\u00e9on is known as the temple of the French nation. Since 1885, the year of Victor Hugo\u2019s death and burial in the Pantheon, it has been the last resting place for great writers, scientists, generals, churchmen and politicians. Its crypt houses the tombs of more than 70 notable figures including Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, Pierre and Marie Curie and, from 1 July 2018, Simone Veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
