Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was elected a member of the Academy of Sciences in 1862 and was its permanent secretary from 1887 to 1889.
Many of Louis Pasteur’s works were presented at the sessions of the Academy of Sciences: his first research in crystallography, his work on methods fermentation, about wines and their diseases, then discussions about the theory of spontaneous generation, then his studies in microbiology with the identification of pathogenic bacteria and the development of vaccines, and finally his research on rabies.
Louis Pasteur’s family house, located in Arbois in the Jura, is a place of memory, both as a bourgeois house characteristic of the end of the 19th century, and thanks to the laboratory where Pasteur worked in the summer and where old instruments are kept.
There he conducted experiments that were crucial to countering the theory of spontaneous formation, as well as studies on wine production.
In 1991, the Academy of Sciences received this house museum Arbois as a donation from the Society of Friends of Pasteur. In 1994, a major interior restoration program was launched, with the help of the Department of Cultural Affairs of Franche-Comté.
Activities, Museum Night, Experimental Taste Workshops, etc. increase interest in visits throughout the year.
