Submay: Arts et Métiers

This stop. Arts et Métiers Station, Paris.

And the award for best literary adaption goes to....Arts et Metiers was originally opened in 1904 as part of Line 3 on the Paris Metro. A second line (Line11) was added in 1935. It is located below the Musée des Arts et Métiers, a museum dedicated to the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions.

But it was the complete redesign of the station in 1994 that makes it stand out as one of the most surreal stations in the world.

The task of redesigning the station fell to the Belgian comic artist François Schuiten. To evoke the science-themed collection in the museum above the station, Schuiten created a copper, submarine-like interior as an homage to the author, inventor and all round science guy, Jules Verne.
