Cabinet E12

The first air-liquefying machine is displayed among water birds—a playful nod to the meeting of two usually separate elements: air and water. Louis Paul Cailletet, a brilliant scientist from Châtillon-sur-Seine, invented the air liquefaction process, which laid the foundations for cryogenics. This discovery has led to numerous applications in fields such as food processing, medicine, and rocket propulsion.
