The aim was to honorthe memory of a universal mind, a major physicist and pioneer of electromagnetism and electrodynamics, as well as a chemist, mathematician and inventor, who held the General and Experimental Physics chair at the Collège de France from 1824 until his death in 1836.
The restoration is part of the Collège de France's drive to promote its scientific history and heritage.
