Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingThe quietest published windows are 9:30–10:30 from Wednesday through Sunday, with another low-traffic period from 16:30–17:30 on Wednesday through Friday; Tuesday and weekend afternoons are busier, especially 14:30–16:30. Musée national Picasso-Paris is open Tuesday–Sunday from 9:30 to 18:00, with last admission at 17:15, and is closed on Mondays.
EntranceEnter Musée national Picasso-Paris at 5 rue de Thorigny. Online tickets provide priority access, but everyone should allow time for security checks at the entrance; priority entry does not remove those checks. Suitcases, travel bags and large backpacks are refused, while smaller backpacks, bottles and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom on level –1 by the stairs on the right side of the lobby.
PriceThe official benchmark shown here is €4 for “Audioguide tarif réduit” from the Official site. No comparable partner price is available, so check the final checkout total and included features before buying.
DiscountsAdmission is free for everyone under 18 and for residents or nationals of the European Union under 26, provided they show valid identification. Free-admission visitors cannot reserve a ticket online, so they must present their proof at the access control; the first Sunday of each month is free for everyone without reservation. Visitors with disabilities and one accompanying person receive free, priority access, while reduced rates available for specific activities require valid supporting documents.

Planning your visit

Searches for “Picasso Museum Paris,” “Musée Picasso Paris,” and “National Picasso Museum” refer to Musée national Picasso-Paris, housed in the historic Hôtel Salé at 5 rue de Thorigny in Paris’s 3rd arrondissement. The building stands in Le Marais, making the museum easy to combine with the Place des Vosges and nearby historic streets. Pablo Picasso’s former residence is not the museum; the site presents his work and archives in a landmark Paris mansion.

The permanent collection contains more than 5,000 works, including paintings from the Blue Period and Rose Period, major Cubism works, Surrealism paintings, and Picasso sculptures. Look for Dora Maar portraits, works from Picasso’s personal art collection, drawings, photographs, and archival material that document his working process. Temporary exhibitions can be visited with the museum’s single admission ticket, while an audio guide is available for the permanent collection; a guided tour provides more structured interpretation when scheduled.

The museum’s opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:15; it is closed on Mondays and certain public holidays. A timed-entry ticket sets the arrival window, while a skip-the-line ticket may reduce ticketing friction but does not necessarily bypass entrance security checks. Advance booking is useful for busy periods, and the Paris Museum Pass is accepted.

For transport, Saint-Paul metro station is on line 1, while Saint-Sébastien - Froissart metro and Chemin Vert metro station are on line 8. Musée national Picasso-Paris provides wheelchair accessibility, but suitcases and bulky bags are prohibited, and backpacks, bottles, and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • The "Audioguide tarif réduit" is an add-on, not an admission ticket: the €4 charge is paid in addition to entry and requires valid proof of eligibility at the museum desk.
  • Online timed entry gives priority access only during the 30 minutes after the time printed on the ticket; arriving outside that window can affect admission.
  • Priority access does not remove security screening. Extra entrance checks can slow arrival, so allow time for the security queue.
  • Suitcases and bulky bags are prohibited and cannot be stored in the cloakroom. Backpacks, bottles and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom before visiting.
  • Tickets are valid for one entry only, with no re-entry after leaving the museum.
  • The museum does not refund or exchange tickets, making an incorrect date or time-slot selection a direct loss.
  • Visitors using free admission must bring valid proof of eligibility; eligible visitors generally enter directly rather than reserving a free ticket.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Can I use a mobile ticket or enter at a specific time?

The available "Audioguide tarif réduit" listing does not state whether it includes a mobile ticket or timed entry. Confirm the delivery method and entry instructions at checkout before paying.

Can I cancel or get a refund if my plans change?

Cancellation and refund terms are not stated for the "Audioguide tarif réduit" offer. Check the final booking conditions before purchase, especially because Musée national Picasso-Paris tickets may be non-refundable or non-exchangeable under the venue’s general conditions.

Should I buy from the official seller or another ticket provider?

For the available "Audioguide tarif réduit" offer, the listed seller is Official site, so it is the clearest choice when you want the venue’s own booking channel and direct visitor information.

Are bags allowed, and will a ticket bypass security checks?

Suitcases and bulky bags are prohibited and cannot be stored in the cloakroom; backpacks, bottles and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom. Online priority access does not remove the need for entrance security checks, which can slow admission.

What happens if I arrive late?

Musée national Picasso-Paris states that priority access is guaranteed only during the half-hour following the entry time printed on a timed ticket. The museum’s usual last admission is 5:15 p.m., so late arrival can affect entry.

Do free or reduced-admission visitors need to reserve a ticket?

Visitors eligible for free admission, including those under 18 and EU residents under 26 with valid identification, generally do not need to reserve an entrance ticket and should present proof at the entrance. The reduced audioguide rate is available at the museum desk with proof of eligibility.

What is the main admission bottleneck at Musée national Picasso-Paris?

Security screening at the entrance is the main practical delay, particularly when visitors bring prohibited luggage or need to check items. The museum recommends reserving an online time slot for priority access, but security checks still apply.
