A place very close to the beach of Paris, it was found by accident, but it may be closed when it is closed. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it.
The museum was built in 1909 by the then Paris Police Chief. Most of the exhibits in the early stage of the museum were archives and documents, and the site of the museum was also located in the archives of the Police General Administration at that time. The police files were stolen and burned during the French Revolution, causing serious losses. At the beginning of the building, the Director-General intended to collect the missing police documents. After many years of tossing and turning, various documents and historical materials returned from all walks of life have been received, and the site of the museum is becoming narrower and narrower. In 1974, the Paris Fifth District Police Department acted bravely and freed more than 500 square meters on the second floor of the office building as an exhibition hall. The Museum moved here and officially became a Paris attraction open to the public.
Many places in Paris are very interesting. I think this police museum is actually similar to the domestic public security museum.
As part of a well-functioning police station, the Paris Police Museum is a small museum that can learn about the history of the French police, as well as some well-known horrible crimes, as well as documents such as uniforms, murder weapons, laws and old magazine or newspaper covers related to cases.
