Arts et Métiers (literally "Arts and Trades") is a station on Line 3 and Line 11 of the Paris Métro. Its located in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. The corridors as well as the platforms of the two lines were modernised after 1988, with those of line 3 being applied the decorative Ouï-dire style, in this case green in colour, while on line 11, to mark the bicentenary of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in October 1994, the platforms was redesigned by Belgian comics artist François Schuiten in a steampunk style reminiscent of the science fiction works of Jules Verne.
