Not sure which ticket to choose?
For a standard visit to the Galerie de l'Homme, a pre-booked entry ticket is the most efficient choice to avoid the Trocadéro ticket office queues. If you are seeking deep anthropological insights or planning to visit multiple sites around the Palais de Chaillot, consider a guided tour or a combo ticket to maximize your time and context.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main entrance is located at 17 Place du Trocadéro, within the Passy wing of the Palais de Chaillot. All visitors, including those with pre-booked timed tickets or 'skip-the-line' passes, must undergo mandatory Vigipirate security screening; these security checks cannot be bypassed. To avoid the longest queues, arrive at the 11:00 AM opening or after 4:00 PM. Once inside, the cloakroom and elevators to the permanent collections (Galerie de l'Homme) are located on Level 1. Be aware that large luggage exceeding 55x35x20 cm is strictly prohibited and there are no storage facilities for oversized items.
- Price: As of June 2026, the official price for a standard adult ticket is €15. This is a combined ticket providing access to both the permanent Galerie de l’Homme and current temporary exhibitions. Admission remains free for visitors under 18 and EEA residents aged 18–25 with valid ID.
- Discounts: Entry is free for visitors under 18 and EEA residents aged 18–25 with valid ID, as well as for disabled visitors and one companion. While those eligible for free admission can often obtain tickets at the onsite desk, booking a 'Free' timed-entry slot online is highly recommended for June visits to guarantee access during peak hours. All reduced or free tickets require physical or digital proof of eligibility, such as a passport or disability card, at the security checkpoint.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book a specific time slot for my visit?
While walk-ins are often possible for the permanent collection, booking a timed entry slot online is highly recommended for June 2026 to guarantee admission. Temporary exhibitions frequently require a mandatory reservation due to limited capacity.
Who is eligible for free admission and do they need a ticket?
Admission is free for visitors under 18, EU residents under 26, and disabled visitors with one companion. While you can often obtain a free ticket at the desk with valid ID, booking a 'zero-euro' timed slot online is safer during the busy summer season.
Is there a security check or bag policy I should know about?
All visitors must pass through a security screening. Large suitcases and bulky luggage exceeding 55x35x20 cm are strictly prohibited; however, free lockers are available on the first floor for standard backpacks and smaller items.
Can I cancel or change my ticket date?
Official tickets purchased directly from the museum are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable. For better flexibility, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often provides a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.
Is the Musée de l’Homme included in the Paris Museum Pass?
Yes, the museum is included in the Paris Museum Pass. Pass holders generally have direct access to the permanent collections, though you should check the official site if a separate timed reservation is required for temporary exhibitions during your visit.
What happens if I arrive late for my timed entry slot?
Entry for late arrivals is subject to the museum's current capacity. If you miss your slot by more than 15 minutes during the peak June period, you may be asked to wait for the next available opening or potentially denied entry if the galleries are full.
Can I show my ticket on my smartphone?
Yes, the Musée de l’Homme accepts mobile e-tickets. You do not need to print your confirmation; simply present the barcode on your phone at the security checkpoint and the admission desk.
