Good to know before your visit
Entrance
Due to major reception area renovations from March 2026 to summer 2028, access points have changed. A temporary entrance on the Seine side (Quai Valéry-Giscard-d'Estaing) is reserved for visitors with timed-entry tickets. The entrance for others (priority access, visitors with tickets but without a timed slot, and groups) is located on the forecourt side (parvis). Note that group visits are completely suspended from June 10 to October 5, 2026. 'Skip-the-line' access only bypasses the ticket office queue, not the mandatory security screening.
Price
Visible seller rows currently span €12 to €69 across official and partner products. The listed options include late-opening entry, standard entry, reserved-access or walking tours, a digital audio-guide app, guided tours and museum combos. Some rows are marked limited or unknown, so compare the final checkout total, cancellation terms and inclusions before paying.
Discounts
Admission is free for visitors under 18 (all nationalities) and EEA residents aged 18–25 with valid ID. Disabled visitors and one companion also enter free. Due to major renovations starting March 2026, all visitors—including those eligible for free entry—must book a mandatory timed-entry reservation online to guarantee access. On the first Sunday of each month (June 7, 2026), entry is free for all, but a pre-booked slot is strictly required. For families, the 'Enfant & Cie' discount offers a reduced rate for up to two adults accompanying a minor. Additionally, a discounted evening rate applies to all visitors on Thursdays after 18:00. Note that the museum is closed on Mondays and May 1st, and group visits are suspended from June 10 to October 5, 2026.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a "skip-the-line" ticket bypass the security check?
No. All visitors, regardless of ticket type, must pass through the mandatory security screening. A timed-entry ticket allows you to use Entrance A, which bypasses the ticket-purchase queue (Entrance C), but you should still expect a short wait for bag checks.
Do children and EU youth need a reservation even if they enter for free?
Yes. As of May 2026, all visitors—including those eligible for free entry (under 18s and EU residents under 26)—must book a mandatory timed-entry reservation online due to ongoing reception area renovations. Walk-in entry for free visitors is not guaranteed.
Is the "Renoir and Love" exhibition included in my standard entry ticket?
Yes, the standard ticket includes access to both the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions like the 2026 Renoir retrospective. However, due to high demand, you must ensure your timed-entry slot is strictly respected to gain access to the exhibition galleries.
What is the policy for large bags and luggage?
Only small bags and backpacks (maximum 55 x 35 x 20 cm) are permitted. While there is a free cloakroom for coats and small items, large suitcases and bulky luggage are strictly prohibited and cannot be stored at the museum.
Can I cancel or change my ticket if my plans change?
Official tickets are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable. For better flexibility, check partner sellers like GetYourGuide or Tiqets, which often provide a 24-hour free cancellation window for a slightly higher service fee.
What happens if I arrive late for my reserved time slot?
The museum generally allows a 30-minute grace period for late arrivals. If you arrive beyond this window, entry is at the discretion of staff and depends on current crowd levels; you may be asked to wait for the next available opening.
When is the best time to visit to avoid the largest crowds?
Thursday evenings are the best option, as the museum stays open until 9:45 PM and crowds typically thin out after 6:00 PM. Alternatively, booking the earliest 9:30 AM slot on a Wednesday or Friday is recommended.
