The “Color” project
An interdisciplinary project of scientific and technical culture.
Since 2022, the Institute of Materials Science has been piloting a project to promote color photographic plates by Gabriel Lippmann. This Sorbonne University collection constitutes an exceptional heritage treasure of the history of science and technology which earned Gabriel Lippmann the Nobel Prize in physics in 1908.
This development project is now leading to the creation of a color museum, within the University and open to the city, which will see the light of day by 2025.
