The House of Tools and Working Thought is a museum located in Troyes, in the Aube department, founded notably by Paul Feller, a Jesuit with avant-garde convictions. The museum preserves approximately 12,000 tools presented in 65 display cases, documenting the knowledge and skills of manual trades. The site also hosts a freely accessible resource center grouping 32,000 old and contemporary works, constituting France's second largest technical library. The establishment offers guided tours, educational resources and activities for schools and families, as well as a research space for professionals and researchers.
