Decisions that shape the visit

Choose your programme

Choose according to the current exhibition. Older recommendations for boulevard Raspail do not describe today's visitor address.

Anticipate the constraint

Check the exhibition calendar and ticket conditions. The inaugural 2025 programme is not a permanent exhibition.

Continue at your own pace

Palais-Royal Garden or BnF's Oval Room provide different alternatives to a second exhibition.

Palais-Royal garden and galleries — 1st · 45 min to 1 h 30

BnF Richelieu — 2nd · 2 h

Louvre Museum — 1st · 3 h

Linked visits are alternatives or continuations, not a claim that all are adjacent.

What to look for on site

The current programme matters as much as the new building. Plan the address and exhibition together rather than relying on an older description of the foundation.
