The hall of Impressionist art, the Musée d'Orsay

The world's largest art hall—the Louvre Museum

The Guimet Museum of Asian Art will be free from now on

All municipal museums and galleries in Paris are free, except for special exhibitions; this is the Fashion Museum.

To allow more people to approach refined culture, enhance the artistic literacy and life connotation of all citizens, especially disadvantaged groups, particularly lower-class people or teenagers, and considering a cultural movement for all citizens, the French Ministry of Culture decided to open selected museums for a six-month test starting January 2nd of this year. If feasible, it will continue to expand to all museums nationwide. This has been fully implemented in the UK since 2001; in the first year, visitor numbers surged by 62%, with up to 2.7 million new visitors, which is truly unimaginable, making artistic activities more popular and accessible. The French government earnestly hopes that all citizens can enjoy refined or high-level culture. This policy also allows tourists from around the world to get a bargain, enjoying these cultural benefits just like the French in the future. "Free" refers to permanent collections within the museums (regular special exhibitions require payment). Currently, museums in Paris offering completely free access to permanent collections include: the National Museum of Arts and Crafts (Musée National des Arts et Métiers), the National Museum of Asian Arts (Musée des Arts asiatiques-Guimet), and the Cluny National Museum of the Middle Ages (Musée du Moyen Âge de l'abbaye de Cluny). Museums in the suburbs of Paris include: the Ecouen Renaissance Museum (Musée de la Renaissance d'Ecouen) in the 95th district, the Saint-Germain-en-Laye National Archaeology Museum (Musée d'Archéologie de Saint-Germain-en-Laye) in the 78th district, and the Le Bourget Air and Space Museum (Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace du Bourget) in the 93rd district. In addition, important museums in Paris offer free entry to young students aged 18-25 after school hours from Wednesday to Saturday evenings after 6 PM: Wednesday at the Centre Pompidou - National Museum of Modern Art (Musée National d'Art Moderne Centre Georges Pompidou), Thursday at the Musée d'Orsay, Friday at the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre), and Saturday at the Quai Branly Museum of Primitive Arts (Musée du Quai Branly). Besides this, all municipal museums, galleries, and cultural memorial centers in Paris are free. Nowadays, museums and galleries in Paris are already free. In the future, one should visit museums or galleries more often; otherwise, strolling through cultural spaces might absorb more spiritual energy, cultivate one's temperament, and subtly transform one into an artist. Don't stay cooped up and work in isolation; go visit museums or galleries.
