This museum was established in 1909 by the Prefect Louis Lépine, made famous by the inventors contest that bears his name. He brings a rich testimony with the pieces together for the 1900 Universal Exhibition. The material presented, despite the losses in the fire that destroyed the prefecture office during the Commune in 1871, offer an overview of the prefecture activity during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Since then, donations and acquisitions have always complete the collections.
