Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingThe museum is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with Thursday late opening until 10:00 p.m. It is normally closed on Mondays, apart from openings during short school holidays. Check the official schedule for exceptional holiday closures before travelling.
EntranceThe museum lists the Debilly entrance at 37 quai Branly, opposite the Debilly Footbridge, and the Université entrance at 218 rue de l’Université; other access points may serve specific areas or visitors with reduced mobility. Allow time for security checks: timed entry does not remove screening. Suitcases, cabin bags, bulky backpacks, scooters, bicycles and self-balancing scooters are prohibited; only handbags and small A3-size backpacks carried at the front are permitted. A free cloakroom is available for eligible personal items, subject to capacity, but not for valuables or bulky objects.
PriceThe official benchmark shown for “Guided tour / storytelling tour - in French (full price)” is €16, while GetYourGuide lists “Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac: Admission Ticket” at €14. These are different products, so compare the final checkout total and inclusions rather than assuming the lower price offers the same experience.
DiscountsThe official rates page confirms free admission to the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions on the first Sunday of each month, but timed tickets are still required for every visitor. For other free or reduced categories, check the exact eligibility, booking instructions and proof requirements for the selected ticket before visiting.
Planning your visit
The Quai Branly Museum, officially Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, occupies a Jean Nouvel building beside the Seine River and below the Eiffel Tower. Its Patrick Blanc vertical garden forms a living wall along the street, while the Museum of Indigenous Arts presents Indigenous arts and civilizations from four regions.
Inside, the permanent route displays around 3,500 works from the Arts of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, making the Non-Western art collections the central reason to visit. Permanent collection admission covers the main display, while a Temporary exhibitions ticket is relevant for the Galerie Jardin and changing presentations. The Claude Lévi-Strauss Theater hosts performances, lectures, and conferences, and Les Ombres restaurant occupies the rooftop with Eiffel Tower views.
A Quai Branly skip-the-line ticket may streamline ticket validation, but every visitor remains subject to entrance security. Paris Museum Pass accepted is useful for passholders, while a Quai Branly guided tour or Audio guide rental adds interpretation beyond the self-guided route. Free admission first Sunday applies to the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, but timed tickets are still required for all visitors.
The address is 37 Quai Branly 75007 Paris; Pont de l'Alma RER station, Alma-Marceau Metro station, and Iéna Metro station are the most useful nearby stops. Quai Branly opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30 to 19:00, with Late-night opening Thursday until 22:00; Museum wheelchair accessibility is best served by the dedicated entrance at 222 rue de l'Université. Small handbags and small A3-size backpacks carried at the front are allowed, but suitcases and bulky bags are prohibited.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Security checks at Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac can slow entry, so a timed or admission ticket does not remove the need to pass security screening.
- Suitcases, cabin bags, bulky backpacks, scooters, bicycles and self-balancing scooters are not allowed inside Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac; only small A3-size backpacks carried at the front and handbags are permitted.
- Backpacks, small bags, umbrellas, walking sticks, motorcycle helmets and sharp or blunt objects must be left at the cloakroom, which stores items only while capacity remains.
- The free cloakroom excludes valuable and bulky items, so luggage that cannot enter the museum may require separate storage before arrival.
- Free admission on the first Sunday of each month still requires a timed ticket for every visitor, so free entry does not mean walk-in access.
- The official "Guided tour / storytelling tour - in French (full price)" is conducted in French, which may reduce its value for visitors who do not understand French.
- The GetYourGuide "Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac: Admission Ticket" is marked as limited availability, so it may be less dependable for a last-minute visit.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket at Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, and do I need a time slot?
A valid ticket is required for entry, but the available ticket details do not confirm mobile-ticket or timed-entry conditions for every product. If your booking includes a day or time, Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac asks you to respect it.
Can I cancel or get a refund for a Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac ticket?
Cancellation and refund terms are not specified for the available ticket options. Check the final booking conditions before payment, especially for the €16 “Guided tour / storytelling tour - in French (full price)” and the €14 “Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac: Admission Ticket”.
Should I buy directly from Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac or from a partner?
The official option is a French guided or storytelling tour priced at €16, while the partner option is an admission ticket priced at €14 with limited availability. Choose the official option for the guided format; choose the partner admission ticket if a standard visit matters more and its checkout terms suit you.
What bags can I bring to Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, and is there security?
Security checks are required at the entrances, so even a timed or priority-style ticket may not bypass screening. Suitcases, cabin baggage and bulky backpacks are prohibited; only small backpacks up to A3 size carried at the front and handbags are allowed, while small bags and backpacks may have to be left at the free cloakroom subject to capacity.
What happens if I arrive late for Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac?
Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac asks visitors to respect the reserved day and time slot. The available visitor guidance does not guarantee admission after a missed slot, so late entry should not be assumed.
Do free or reduced-admission visitors need a ticket for Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac?
Most visitors eligible for free admission should reserve a free ticket to help secure access and speed up entry, and a supporting document is required at the entrance. On the first Sunday of each month, admission is free, but timed tickets are still required for all visitors.
What is the main bottleneck when visiting Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac?
The main unavoidable delay is the entrance security check, which can slow admission even when you already have a ticket. Bringing only a permitted small bag and keeping proof of free or reduced eligibility ready can make the access process simpler.
