Paris Sightseeing Tour with Musée du quai Branly Ticket
A must-visit — but go in with open eyes The Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac is one of Paris's most striking cultural spaces, and honestly, one I'd urge everyone to experience. The architecture alone is jaw-dropping, and the sheer breadth and beauty of the collection — spanning Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas — is breathtaking. That said, let's be honest about what we're looking at: the vast majority of these objects were taken — through colonization, coercion, and extraction — from the communities that created them. Walking through these halls is a powerful experience precisely because you hold that history alongside the beauty. Don't let the sleek design lull you into forgetting it. On the practical side: the temporary exhibitions are included in the regular entry ticket, which is a genuinely great deal and not to be missed. The store is a treasure trove of carefully curated pieces that are far more thoughtful than your average museum shop. And the café? Fantastic food — a real surprise. Come curious, come critical, and come hungry. Five stars — with full awareness of what those stars carry.

Directions

From Neuilly-sur-Seine, take Métro Line 1 to Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Line 9 to Iéna; walk to the museum.

Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris occupies the eastern wing of the Palais de Tokyo, built for the 1937 International Exposition in Paris. The museum opened in 1961 and presents the city’s collection of modern and contemporary art. Its galleries trace major developments in 20th-century painting and sculpture, including Fauvism, Cubism, and abstraction. A highlight is Henri Matisse’s monumental *La Danse*; works by Robert and Sonia Delaunay are also among the collection’s draws. The building’s broad, light-filled spaces give large works room to breathe, while changing exhibitions connect the permanent collection with later artists and ideas. Despite the shared building, the museum is separate from the neighboring Palais de Tokyo contemporary art center.

Before you enter

  • Check current opening hours before leaving; the museum is normally closed on Mondays.
  • Check the museum website for changes to Thursday evening hours.
  • Plan extra time if a special exhibition interests you; popular shows may require advance reservations.

What to expect

  • The permanent collection is generally free to enter.
  • Expect spacious galleries devoted to 20th-century art, alongside changing exhibitions.
  • Allow about 60–90 minutes for a focused visit to the permanent collection.

During your visit

  • Look for Matisse’s *La Danse* and works by Robert and Sonia Delaunay.
  • Read gallery labels to follow the shifts between artistic movements.
  • Leave time to appreciate the Palais de Tokyo building as well as the artwork.
