The MUSEUMS of PARIS - Links

Introduction • Museum Links

The majority of noteworthy museums in Paris offer holders of the Carte Musées et Monuments (Museums & Monuments Pass) a no-wait access. Save money on separate admission fees and bypass the long tourist queues (Fr: files) by purchasing your pass in advance! In the listings below, the icon indicates which art galleries, castles, and museums offer expedited, free access with this card.

Some of these links will take you to other web sites outside Discover France, whose privacy policies may differ from ours. We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information presented through these links.

An external link will always open the applicable web page in a new browser window (above this one). You must have JavaScript and pop-ups enabled to view such a page. When you are finished viewing the external site, simply close that window to return to this page.

Note: If you cannot find a desired attraction in this list of Paris Museums, then you may wish to consult our directory of Paris Landmarks & Monuments.
