Not sure which ticket to choose?

For a standard visit, the €14 entry ticket via Tiqets or GetYourGuide is the most efficient choice, matching official rates with better mobile flexibility. Travelers looking for a full day of sightseeing should consider the Seine Cruise bundle, while frequent visitors will find the best value in the €38 Annual Pass, which includes priority entry.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Security Queue Reality

    All visitors, regardless of 'skip-the-line' or timed-entry status, must pass through mandatory Vigipirate security checks at the garden entrances (37 Quai Branly or Rue de l'Université), which can cause delays during peak June periods.

  • Cloakroom Requirement

    While small bags (up to 55x35x20 cm) are allowed, they must be left in the free cloakroom before entering the galleries. Larger luggage and suitcases are strictly forbidden and there are no storage facilities on-site.

  • Mandatory Free-Entry Reservations

    Visitors entitled to free admission (including under-18s and EU residents under 26) must still book a mandatory timed-entry 'complimentary ticket' online to guarantee access during busy time slots.

  • Monday Closures

    The museum is typically closed every Monday; always verify the calendar for June 2026 as bookings made for Mondays on third-party sites may be invalid unless it falls during a specific French school holiday.

  • Separate Event Pricing

    Standard admission tickets cover the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, but live concerts, theatrical shows, and specific workshops require a separate paid ticket.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    Main entrances are at 37 Quai Branly, 215 Rue de l'Université and 218 Rue de l'Université. Visitors with reduced mobility or requiring specific arrangements should use the recommended entrance at 222 Rue de l'Université. All visitors should allow time for entrance security checks. The museum is open until 10:00 PM on Thursdays; verify the official calendar for holiday exceptions.

  • Price

    Visible seller rows currently show standard entry listings at €14 from Tiqets and GetYourGuide, a guided-tour listing at €16 from the official site, a GetYourGuide digital-tour option at €28, Seine-cruise bundles from €31.90 or €32, and annual-pass listings at €38. Compare the final checkout total, availability, inclusions and cancellation terms before paying; the supplied rows do not establish an official standard-ticket benchmark.

  • Discounts

    Free admission is confirmed by the museum for visitors with disabilities and one accompanying person, on presentation of proof of eligibility. Other free or reduced-rate categories should be checked against the current official rates and reservation conditions before booking, including whether advance reservation and supporting documents are required.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my tickets or are mobile vouchers accepted?

Digital tickets are fully accepted; you can show the QR code on your smartphone at the entrance turnstiles. Ensure your screen brightness is turned up and the barcode is clearly visible to avoid delays.

What happens if I arrive late for my booked time slot?

Entry is only guaranteed within 30 minutes of your selected time; late arrivals are subject to capacity and may be denied entry during peak hours. If you miss your window, staff might allow entry in the next available slot, but this is not a contractual right.

Are there any items I cannot bring into the museum?

Strict security rules prohibit any luggage or bags larger than 55x35x20 cm, and there are no lockers available for oversized items. Small backpacks must be carried on the front or in your hand to protect the artifacts.

Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?

No, every visitor must pass through the mandatory security screening at the garden entrance regardless of ticket type. 'Skip-the-line' or 'priority' access refers only to bypassing the physical ticket-purchase windows inside.

How do free-entry visitors (under 18s or EU youth) secure a spot?

While admission is free for those under 18 and EEA residents under 26, you must still reserve a 'free' timed-entry ticket on the official site or partner platforms to guarantee entry. You will be required to show valid photo ID at the entrance.

Can I cancel or reschedule my ticket if my plans change?

Official tickets are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable. For better flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often allows for 24-hour cancellation, though you should verify the specific terms on their checkout page.

Is the garden accessible without a museum ticket?

Yes, the Gilles Clément-designed gardens are free to enter and explore during museum opening hours. However, you must still pass through a security checkpoint to enter the garden perimeter.
