The Panthéon was built from 1764 as a church for Sainte Geneviève and became a republican mausoleum during the Revolution. Its crypt holds the tombs of Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie and many others honoured by the Nation. The nave, dome and Foucault's pendulum are open to visitors, and the monument hosts temporary exhibitions and installations. It is run by the Centre des monuments nationaux.
