In 1994 this metro station has been fully decorated by François Schuiten as a huge machine made of copper. The side plates are riveted together just like an large submarine diving beteath Paris. Portholes, on the wall are showcases for different models of machines.

Just beside this station there is the Arts et métiers museum, devoted to technics and science from the revolution period. The first cars, machines, planes and trains are shown in this museum.
