Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Permanent-collection access is free; confirm whether the temporary exhibition you want requires a paid ticket or has free-entry conditions.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    The individual entrance is on Avenue Winston-Churchill, opposite the Grand Palais. Visitors with reduced mobility should use the ground-floor entrance to the right of the main staircase. The museum is generally open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM; Friday and Saturday late openings run until 8:00 PM for temporary exhibitions. Check the relevant exhibition page for its last-entry time, and remember that timed entry does not remove normal access or security controls.

  • Price

    Admission to the Petit Palais permanent collections is free for all visitors and typically does not require a reservation. Paid tickets are only necessary for temporary exhibitions, with official full rates generally ranging from €14 to €16. Partner prices, such as the €17 exhibition ticket shown here, align with official exhibition rates plus a small service fee; always check for official reduced rates (approx. €12 for ages 18–26) or free entry (under 18s and disabled visitors) before booking through third parties.

  • Discounts

    Permanent collections remain free for all visitors. Temporary-exhibition eligibility varies by exhibition: the Petit Palais lists free entry for visitors under 18 for Károly Ferenczy, while reduced-rate eligibility and required proof should be checked for the selected exhibition. Visitors with a disability and one companion or carer can receive free admission with valid proof. Check the official exhibition or ticketing page before relying on a free or reduced option.

  • Timing

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a ticket to see the permanent collection at Petit Palais?

No, access to the permanent art collections and the interior garden is free for all visitors and does not require a reservation. You only need to purchase a ticket if you wish to visit the temporary exhibitions.

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

No, all visitors must wait in the same security line at the main entrance (the golden gate). A skip-the-line or timed-entry ticket only allows you to bypass the queue for the physical ticket desk inside.

Are there luggage or bag restrictions at the museum?

Yes, due to security regulations, suitcases and large bags (exceeding 40x30x20cm) are strictly prohibited. There are no lockers or cloakrooms available for large items, so plan to leave luggage at your hotel or a city locker.

Do children and youth get free entry to temporary exhibitions?

Visitors under 18 enter free, and residents of the EEA aged 18-25 are eligible for reduced rates. While free for minors, it is recommended to book a free timed-entry slot online for popular exhibitions to guarantee entry.

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

There is typically a 15-minute grace period for timed tickets. If you arrive later than that, entry is at the discretion of the staff and depends on the current capacity of the exhibition rooms.

Is the Petit Palais garden accessible without a paid ticket?

Yes, the semi-circular courtyard garden and its café are part of the free-access area of the museum. You can enjoy the architecture and the garden without purchasing an exhibition ticket.
