The history of the CNRS is fundamentally linked to the history of science and scientific advances and that of how research is organized and its policy aspects. Since its creation, the CNRS has successfully transformed and renewed itself to help it coordinate, federate and support constantly evolving research of excellence. The 13 panels of the exhibition describe the major milestones of this history from its beginnings in 1939 right up to the 2000s.

The summit of Mont Blanc, with the observatory and the Vallot refuge in the foreground, during an ice coring operation at the col du Dôme pass (4,300 m) in August 2016. This operation was part of the Mémoire de la Glace (memory of ice) programme instated to save the glacial world heritage. An international team of glaciologists and engineers collected three ice cores, each 130 m long. One of these cores will be analysed in 2019 with the aim of constituting a database to be made available to the…

Mise en route d'une fraise à neige qui servira à creuser une cave de stockage pour les carottes de glace prélevées lors d'une opération de forage au col du Dôme (4 300 m), dans le massif du Mont-Blanc, en août 2016. Cette mission rentre dans le cadre du programme "mémoire de la glace" (Ice Memory), pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine glaciaire mondial. Une équipe internationale de glaciologues et ingénieurs a prélevé trois carottes de glace de 130 m chacune. L'une sera analysée en 2019 pour…
