The French Society for Electricity, Electronics, and Information and Communication Technologies owns the premises and is a privileged partner of SAAMA.

In 1928, thanks to an international subscription organized by Paul Janet, member of the French Academy of Sciences, it was acquired the former property of André-Marie Ampère in Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or, which had just been put up for sale[3] .

This subscription received support from companies, associations, and prominent individuals, with the largest contribution coming from the Behn brothers.

The patronage committee established for the creation of SAAMA gathered numerous scientific personalities, including several Nobel laureates in physics such as William Henry Bragg (1915), Louis de Broglie (1929), Jean Perrin (1926), Pieter Zeeman (1902), and in chemistry, Victor Grignard (1912) and Paul Sabatier (chemist) (1912), as well as other renowned physicists and chemists such as Blas Cabrera, Aimé Cotton, Charles Fabry, Wander Johannes de Haas, Martin Knudsen, Paul Langevin and Henry Le Chatelier.

[5] The Ampère Museum was inaugurated on July 1, 1931, and SAAMA was recognized as a French public utility society by decree on April 4, 1936.
