Paris Metro Line 11 Arts et Metiers

Crossing of MP 59 trains on line 11 of the Paris metro, at the famous station with its Arts et Métiers copper-bodied platforms. The line 11 station has been entirely covered since October 1994 with copper plates riveted to each other, and not the usual earthenware tiles. This dressing is set up on the occasion of the bicentenary ceremonies of the National Conservatory of Arts and Métiers. It is due to Benoît Peeters, French screenwriter, and François Schuiten, Belgian cartoonist, authors of the series Les Cités obscures. The traveler is immersed inside a vast machine, a sort of underground Nautilus evoking the atmosphere of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, in steampunk style. On the ceiling of the station, a series of large cogs evokes the Museum of Arts and Métiers. Copper, the only material used, evokes the technical and industrial universe. On the platforms, a series of portholes open onto small scenographies, centered on the museum's collections: we observe the armillary sphere, the Telstar satellite, or the water wheel. All of the station's furniture is suitable for decoration and constitutes a unique case on the network: the nameplates, the wooden seats, the garbage cans, the flat tiles of the eardrums, the alarm terminals and the banners of "Ouï-dire" lighting is brown. However, the latter do not have multicolored lighting and the light is diffused in a semi-dimmed way on the side of the tracks. The platforms are devoid of advertisements and tiled in anthracite grey.
