Cité de l'Économie

Cité de l’Économie, or Citéco, is a museum about economics at 1 Place du Général Catroux in Paris. Its interactive displays use games, videos and activities to explain economic ideas, so you can explore the subject even without prior knowledge. Try the activity that lets you print your own banknotes in the vault, and look for exhibitions on the role of work in society. Displays are available in French, English and Spanish, and the museum is suited to visits with children and teenagers.

An interactive introduction to economics

Citéco opened to the public on 14 June 2019. The museum is devoted to economics and presents the subject through games, videos and interactive activities. Its exhibits are designed for different levels of familiarity, making the museum an option for both newcomers and people already interested in economics. French, English and Spanish are among the languages used in the exhibits. Take time to engage with the displays rather than treating the visit as a walk-through; the activities are a central part of how the museum explains its subject.

Activities and exhibitions

One hands-on activity lets you print your own banknotes in the vault. The museum also has an exhibition about the role of work in society. Special tours are available to help visitors understand economic topics, and staff can provide explanations during a visit. The interactive approach makes Citéco a practical choice for families with children or teenagers who want an introduction to economics. A museum café is also available for a pause during your visit.
