Pro tips to help you make a pick

Temporary exhibitions and events are included in standard admission; separate tickets are needed for concerts or theater shows.

Book online in advance, especially for weekends or the first Sunday of the month (when entry is free but still requires a timed booking).

Discounted and free tickets (for EU residents under 26, persons with disabilities, etc.) must still be reserved in advance.

All tickets offer timed entry; arrive up to 15 minutes early. Late arrivals can lead to delays.

Choose from entry-only or combo tickets with other landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre.

About Musée du quai Branly

Quai Branly is one of Paris’s most striking modern museums, dedicated entirely to the arts and cultures of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. The museum houses thousands of rare objects, from ceremonial masks to textiles and sculptures, in an immersive, river-like layout. Book timed-entry tickets or curated combo tours online to explore it at your own pace.

Did you know?

The museum houses over 370,000 objects, with only a fraction on display at a time.

Its “river-like” layout guides visitors through dimly lit galleries that mimic organic, flowing spaces.

Claude Lévi-Strauss Theater is named after the renowned French anthropologist who inspired the museum’s mission.

The façade’s “green wall” was one of the first large-scale vertical gardens in Paris.

The museum’s Nomad Workshops take the collection beyond its walls, bringing cultural programs to local communities.

Why visit Musée du quai Branly?

Fantastic experience, an amazing boat cruise where we admired all the most important sights of Paris: the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the spectacular Eiffel Tower. An experience highly recommended in the evening, when the city lights make everything even more magical. Tickets were also purchased in advance to avoid the long lines at the ticket booths.

Highly recommend this tour. It was easy to get to, exactly as the instructions describe, and the boat staff was very friendly. Seeing the Seine River from the boat is unforgettable, especially at sunset.

Our visit to the Paris Aquarium was an unforgettable experience! Located right across from the Eiffel Tower, this place offers a fascinating world, full of color and life, where we discovered spectacular species of fish (Surprise! There are even domesticated fish that you’re allowed to touch in the tank), sharks, jellyfish, and many other marine creatures. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the aquarium’s design is impressive, offering moments of delight for both children and adults. I highly recommend booking tickets on Headout because it offers great discounts, saves time, and makes it easy to visit one of Paris’s most beautiful attractions at your own pace. A wonderful experience that I’ll cherish for a long time and that I recommend to everyone visiting the city!
