Paris Museums List

Below is a comprehensive list of of links to every museum in Paris with a website. (Note, there are a few very small PARIS museums that do not yet have websites, which do not appear.)

We hope you find our list useful. Be sure and check out the the free Paris museums, designated with green notices. These Paris museums are owned by the City and do not charge admission to their permanent collections, although for special exhibitions usually do charge admissions.

The names of the Paris museums are links to their websites. Just click on the link to any of the museum titles below to visit the museum's website, where you will find all the relevant detail information you'll need.

Some Paris museum websites are only in French, but most have an English version of the site, for which you can find links on the homepage (often times, you'll see small British flag that designates the English version).
