Step into a museum unlike any other in Paris, where the spotlight shines on indigenous art and stories from around the world.

  • Everything you get: Explore a museum dedicated to indigenous cultures and craftsmanship, with permanent exhibits featuring artifacts and art from across Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. Your ticket also gives you access to four temporary exhibitions like Golden Threads and Dakar–Djibouti. Enjoy the river-like architectural layout and unwind in the serene garden after your visit.

It was all so easy! Booking online, following the directions to the pier, finding the perfect seat (down below and outside-perfect) The one hour fit into our schedule perfectly and covered all the important sites. It is so great to see Paris from the perspective of the river as well! - and the price is extreamly resonable!

Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!

What a great experience from start to finish almost :) we started the tour outside the pick up address and like most we arrived early tami the tour guide was amazing but she was just filling in as Abbie our actual guide was running late due to metro issue. That being said tami was amazing got us through security and to the lift quickly and efficiently. Abbie arrived just as we where about to board the lift very apologetic and with her note book in hand proceeded to take our tour with an abundance of information. We loved it the kids loved it and it was an amazing experience we will never forget. Thinking of doing one I'd definitely recommend it the Eiffel Tower is a must!

Everyone should see the Eifel Tower with a guide who will tell you the interesting history of the Tower. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable, it was so much better than a solo visit.

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

The whole experience was awesome starting with not having to queue up to get in, skipping the lines enabled us spend more time touring the tour itself. The guide gave the history of the tour which gave an insight on how the tower got to look the way it does today. The view...breathtaking I loved the lights show too

Efi our tour guide made the experience very enjoyable and was very knowledgeable in the information he provided. He took time and made the effort to inclue everybody in the tour. The weather took a turn for the worse but actually made it more enjoyable. We got to experience a storm whilst at the summit and it made the experience all the more memorable.

4/5

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

The king's halls and the frescoed ceiling in addition to the jugonde and of course the Italian paintings and Greco-Roman statues. It needs to be improved with a sense of visitation and numbering the rooms is very large and therefore very dispersive.

Head Out tickets worked perfect, but the Louvre Museum was overcrowded. Especially in the Mona Lisa room, first about 1/2 an hour to get first in line to have good fotos, and then we were not allowed closer than about 4-5 meters from the picture, which is so small it was difficult to see details.

The guide at the Eiffel Tower said he was not allowed to stay on the 2nd platform to tell us something, maybe it is true, but we had the idea that he wanted to get rid of us quickly. He sent us right to the top, we didn't see him after that. We got by, so fine. But then a lot of money for just the entrance.

Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac

On a voyage across four continents

Situated at the foot of the iconic Eiffel Tower, on the banks of River Seine, the Quai Branly Museum is a must-visit attraction in Paris

The Quai Branly Museum was inaugurated in 2006 to showcase art, artifacts and rituals from non-indigenous cultures from Oceania, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. If you’re a cultural enthusiast looking to learn something new, Quai Branly Museum is a great experience for you.

Read on to learn about your ticket options and other information you would need to fully discover the Quai Branly Museum.

Things to know before you book your tickets to the Quai Branly Museum

  • Visit the Quai Branly Museum only if you’re interested in non-European art, culture, and rituals. It houses a diverse collection of 300,000 art pieces – including pieces of jewelry, idols, and masks.
  • The ticket gives you access to permanent collection and temporary exhibitions as well, so check the venue website for information on the ongoing exhibitions and their timelines.
  • Entry is free for children under the age of 18 (non-EU citizen), adults under the age of 26 (EU citizen), and for the differently abled with a companion

Why visit the Quai Branly Museum?

1. Unique cultural fusion: The museum features a rich collection of over 700,000 photographs and 300,000 artifacts and objects (musical instruments, fabrics, and clothing) from across Asia, Africa, Oceania, and The Americas, taking you on a fascinating cultural journey.

2. Architectural marvel: Jean Nouvel’s design idea for Quai Branly Museum was - “it is a museum built around a collection.” To achieve this, the museum was perched on stilts, docked on the banks of the River Seine, surrounded by a verdant landscape (designed by Gilles Clément), covering an area of 18,000 m2.

3. Immersive exhibitions: The museum explores unique themes, such as – identity, globalization, and cultural exchange, thus challenging perceptions and encouraging dialogues. It’s not just a visual exhibit, it’s a whole sensory experience at Quai Branly Museum.

4. Ethnographic approach: Unlike traditional art museums where paintings, sculptures, and the decorative arts are collected, preserved, and exhibited in galleries for aesthetic appreciation, the Quai Branly Museum adopts an ethnographic approach which focuses on collecting, studying, and presenting artifacts and objects related to the cultures, customs, traditions of different ethnic groups and societies.

Learn about the history of the Quai Branly Museum

Jacques René Chirac, president of France in 1995, commissioned the construction of the $300 million Quai Branly Museum as a “debt we owe to the peoples and countries” of the former French empire.

The Quai Branly Museum started off as an art gallery in the Pavillon des Sessions of the southwest wing of the Louvre Museum in 2000 with the display of 108 tasteful masterpieces.

Die Tickets für das Musée de l'Orangerie und Musée d'Orsay waren sofort verfügbar. Da es eine separate Warteschlange für Besucher ohne Tickets gab, entstanden für uns keine Wartezeiten. Der Besuch des Museum l'Orangerie ist auf eine halbe Stunde begrenzt, was viel zu kurz ist. Von einem 30 Minütigen Besuch der Orangerie ist auf jeden Fall abzuraten, das ist nur Abzocke. Allerdings wurden wir beim rausgehen nicht kontrolliert. Das Musse d'Orsay schliesst offiziell um 18:00, un 17:45 waren schon einige Räume geschlossen, daher dieses Museum früher einplanen, es gibt kein Zeitlimit ausser den Öffnungszeiten.

Very unique museum, well executed. Served an important time bridge between visiting other time booked close by attractions, Eiffel Tower and River supper cruise specifically.
