About this tip
Once a year in May, on a Saturday evening, Paris museums open free from nightfall until midnight for the Nuit européenne des musées. Some big names such as the Orangerie and Orsay ask for free timed slots booked on their own sites, and queues can be long, so smaller museums are often a better bet. Check the programme a few days before, because venues are added late and some exclude temporary exhibitions.
