Birth of a concept .
The concept of “Cité des métiers” was created in 1933 at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie of Paris (National Science and Industry Museum). During the last 30 years, a wide variety of territories decided to duplicate the concept. To facilitate the process and guarantee the quality of the dissemination, a label was created. Nowadays, this label has being implemented on 24 territories, spread over 6 european countries. All of them are brought together by the International Network Association.
