Louis Pasteur's House in Arbois is a science and heritage museum located in the residence that the scholar transformed in the 19th century. Owned by the Academy of Sciences since 1992, it remains preserved in the state Pasteur left it, providing access to his intact private laboratory as well as domestic living spaces. The site, listed as a Historic Monument and labeled "Houses of Illustrious Persons," traces Pasteur's work on fermentation and pasteurization, partially conducted in this location. Located on the edge of the Jura region in Arbois, the museum offers guided or self-guided tours, supplemented by family workshops and digital access. A comprehensive restoration, undertaken in 2021, aims to improve visitor reception while integrating contemporary research in microbiology.
