Not sure which ticket to choose?

Guided tours are highly recommended for those wanting technical depth on inventions like the Avion III, while combo tickets are ideal for travelers pairing this with other central Paris landmarks.

Enter at 60 rue Réaumur, near Arts-et-Métiers and Réaumur-Sébastopol metro stations. The museum is open Tuesday–Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Friday late opening until 9:00 PM, and is closed Mondays; the ticket desk closes 45 minutes before the museum. Individual cloakroom facilities accept small cabin-size bags up to 55×35×25 cm. Larger suitcases, wheeled suitcases of any size, bicycles and scooters are not admitted.

Price
The visible official total is €12 for a full-price Billet unique, with a €9 reduced rate. The current rows also show Tiqets at €12, while the GetYourGuide rows are titled for Musée d'Orsay or Musée de l'Orangerie rather than Musée des Arts et Métiers and should not be treated as valid comparisons until refreshed. Compare the final checkout total, inclusions and cancellation terms before paying.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my Musée des Arts et Métiers ticket?
No, you do not need a paper copy. Digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted at the entrance; simply present the QR code or PDF to the staff for scanning.
What is the cancellation policy for these tickets?
Official tickets are generally non-refundable and valid only for the selected date. For better flexibility, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often allows for a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours in advance.
Are there specific times when entry is free for everyone?
Yes, the museum offers free admission to all visitors on the first Sunday of every month (all day) and during the Friday night late openings from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Who is eligible for free or reduced-price admission on regular days?
Admission is free for all visitors under 18 and for EU residents under 26 with a valid ID. Reduced rates are available on-site for students, seniors, and large families, provided they have supporting documentation.
Can I bring large bags or suitcases into the museum?
No. Due to Vigipirate security regulations, large suitcases and wheeled bags of any size are strictly prohibited. Only small bags (maximum 55x35x25cm) are allowed and must be stored in the self-service lockers.
When can I see the Foucault Pendulum in action?
The Foucault Pendulum is located in the Saint-Martin-des-Champs church. Demonstrations typically take place daily (often at 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM), but you should check the schedule board at the reception upon arrival as times may shift.
Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket allow me to bypass security?
No ticket allows you to skip security. While a pre-booked ticket lets you bypass the ticket office queue, all visitors must undergo a mandatory bag and security check at the entrance.
Is the Paris Museum Pass accepted at this venue?
Yes, the Musée des Arts et Métiers is a partner of the Paris Museum Pass. Pass holders can enter directly through the main entrance without needing to book a separate time slot in advance.
