It goes without saying that Paris is the city of love. Some people find it on the cobblestoned, neo-Gothic streets, whilst others find love in the mouth-watering and sometimes adventurous (I\u2019m talking snails) Parisian cuisine<\/a>. For others like me, love lies elsewhere. The French capital is a place to marvel at and be inspired by millennia of history, culture and art. The world-class galleries and museums in Paris let you travel back in time with the Egyptians and Romans, be mesmerised by Impressionist paintings, hypnotised by Picasso\u2019s use of rich colours or simply be left awestruck by the architecture.<\/p>\n

As much as Paris is beautiful, impressive and magical it\u2019s also overwhelming. You won\u2019t see every piece of treasure or hit every museum on your first, second or even third trip, no matter how tightly packed your schedule. For those on a budget or simply used to the free admission in many London and Berlin museums<\/a>, entry fees here can be a little steep. To make the choosing easier here\u2019s our list of the best museums in Paris that you can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n

1. The Louvre<\/h2>\n

This is a no-brainer. The Louvre is not only the best museum in Paris, but the world\u2019s largest art museum with some 35,000 artefacts and works of art on display. Originally used as a fortress, then a Royal Palace before being opened to the public as a museum in 1793, it\u2019s a treasure trove for culture, art, history and architecture buffs. There\u2019s something for everyone whether it\u2019s Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s Mona Lisa, Botticelli’s masterpieces, Venus di Milo statue or ancient relics.<\/p>\n

One thing to keep in mind is you can\u2019t possibly see everything in one visit. The museum is split into three massive wings and is pretty much a city within itself, with a maze of galleries, staircases and hallways. Do some research beforehand to decide what\u2019s a must see. It will make the visit more enjoyable and save you from emerging hours later exhausted and defeated by the mammoth collection.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0\u00a0Admission cost: \u20ac15<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb8\u00a0Free if you\u2019re under 18 or aged between 18 and 25 and from a EU country. \u20ac9 if you\u2019re aged between 18 and 25 and from a non-EU country. The permanent collection is free for everyone on Sundays from October to March.<\/p>\n

2. Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/h2>\n

Second to the Louvre, this gallery is a must. The collection begins where the Louvre’s finishes \u2013 around 1848 – and displays just over 60 years of art history from symbolism to realism, sculpture to photography, to the world\u2019s largest collection of impressionist works. Marvel at the artistic prowess of the likes of Monet, Van Gogh, Delacroix, C\u00e9zanne, Corbet and Corot to name a few.<\/p>\n

The artworks aren\u2019t the only drawcard. The museum was originally a palatial train station, designed by\u00a0Victor Laloux in 1900. In 2011 it underwent a renovation, adding a restaurant and outside viewing platform. Head up there for spectacular views across to Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur atop Montmartre.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Admission: \u20ac16.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb8\u00a0Free if you\u2019re under 18 or aged between 18 and 25 and from a EU country. \u20ac9 if you\u2019re aged between 18 and 25 and from a non-EU country. Free for everyone on the first Sunday of the month and\u00a0\u20ac9 for everyone\u00a0on Thursday evenings, from 6pm.<\/p>\n

3. Mus\u00e9e National Rodin<\/h2>\n

If sculptures and modernity are your thing, then this is one of the best museums in Paris for you. The mansion where Auguste Rodin \u2013 one of France\u2019s most outstanding sculptors \u2013 spent the last years of his life now contains a massive collection of his work. The house dates back to the 18th century and displays pieces such as the great Balzac, the Burghers of Calais and the Gates of Hell, letting visitors trace how he revolutionised late 19th-century sculpture.<\/p>\n

The jewel of Musee Rodin lies in the beautiful, peaceful garden: The Thinker. It\u2019s one of Rodin\u2019s most important works. You\u2019ll also find works by Camille Claudel and Vincent van Gogh which were part of Rodin\u2019s private collection.<\/p>\n

4. Mus\u00e9e Picasso<\/h2>\n

This is one of my personal favourites, and no list of museums in Paris would be complete without it. The variety and beauty of the works here are incredible. More than 5,000 of Pablo Picasso\u2019s paintings, drawings, engravings, ceramic works and sculptures are on display. The staggering collection traces the Spanish artist\u2019s evolution through the blue and pink period to the foundations he created for cubism and modernism. The museum is housed in H\u00f4tel Sal\u00e9, an exquisite private mansion owned by the city, not far from where Picasso spent much of his life living and working.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0\u00a0Admission: \u20ac12.50. Museum is closed on Mondays.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb8\u00a0\u20ac11 if you\u2019re a student. Free on Sundays.<\/p>\n

5. Grand Palais<\/h2>\n

Remember the glass dome you saw from the top of The Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe? This is it and I can confirm it\u2019s as glorious and impressive from the inside as it is out. In fact, it\u2019s the largest glass roof in the whole of Europe! Originally built for the 1900 World Exposition this extravagant monument houses changing art exhibitions and a science museum. The Grand Nave is home to the FIAC art fair in October, Paris Photo in November and various art and photography events the rest of the year. If you\u2019re not up for checking out an exhibition, the interior of this palatial building is something you can\u2019t leave Paris without seeing.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0\u00a0Admission: ticket costs vary according to exhibitions.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb8\u00a0Entering the iconic foyer is free.<\/p>\n

6. Mus\u00e9e Marmottan-Claude Monet<\/h2>\n

This is one of the city\u2019s hidden gems, and the perfect choice if you’re looking for museums in Paris that are a bit more off the beaten track. It displays the largest collection of works by Impressionist pioneer Claude Monet, most of which were donated by the artist\u2019s family. Some of the most notable works are ‘Impressionism, soleil levant’, which gave Impressionism its name. Make sure to check out the vibrant works of his Giverny water garden and the works of other painters of Monet\u2019s time such as Renoir, Manet and Pissarro.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Admission: \u20ac14<\/p>\n

7. Centre Pompidou<\/h2>\n

If the striking fa\u00e7ade of bold, primary colours, exposed piping and metal stairwells didn\u2019t give it away, the Centre Pompidou is dedicated to all things modern art. When it opened in 1977 it was revolutionary and still is, due to its multi-disciplinary use of space and the fact it houses the largest collection of modern art in Europe. 50,000 works by 5,000 artists are held here however only about 600 are displayed at any one time. The Centre is home to an art museum, library and exhibition and performance spaces. Prices vary according to what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Museum admission: \u20ac15.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb8\u00a0\u20ac11 if you\u2019re a student. Entrance to the inside forum is free but it costs to ascend the iconic escalators.<\/p>\n

8. Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs<\/h2>\n

This is a mecca for those with an eye for fashion, design and furnishings. You\u2019ll find The Arts D\u00e9coratifs in a side wing of the Louvre. It covers three areas of design \u2013 art, fashion and advertising. A whopping 86,000 fashion items and sketches are on show in the fashion and textile section. Some of the more famous pieces exhibited are by Chanel, Pierre Balmain, Christian Dion and Yves Saint Laurent. The advertising section is just as impressive with thousands of pieces of poster art, films, newspaper ads and promotional material all old and new. One of the best museums in Paris for anyone more interested in new media and the art forms we see around us on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

9. Mus\u00e9e National du Moyen-Age-Thermes<\/h2>\n

Here you\u2019ll find something special which stands apart from the city\u2019s main attractions. This intimate museum \u2013 known simply as Cluny \u2013 provides a different insight into the history of France through the incredible medieval treasures on display. The building itself is an example of 15th-century Gothic architecture and lies off the beaten track, just above the finest roman bath remains in Paris. This alone is well worth the visit. However, the real star of the show is the Lady and Unicorn tapestry cycle which lies among beautiful medieval sculptures and enamels.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Admission: \u20ac12. Closed Tuesdays.<\/p>\n

This exquisite 19th-century mansion is the work of 19th-century art buffs Edouard Andr\u00e9 and his wife N\u00e9lie Jacquemart. The pair spent much of the life scouring Europe for artistic treasures. As you walk through the serious of salons and music room you\u2019ll find various Rembrandts, a Botticelli Virgin and Child, Tiepolo frescoes and paintings by Boucher, Fragonard and Nattier to name a few. Wrap up your visit with lunch or cakes at the elegant tearoom.<\/p>\n

Paris is a serious heaven for impressionist and art lovers. Not many other museums in Paris offer such a treat for the eyes, showing Claude Monet\u2019s eight water lily canvases. The light, watery panels are displayed exactly as Monet wanted \u2013 in two oval rooms which surround gallery-goers with the scenes of his garden at Giverny. The lower level contains works by Matisse, Renoir, Rousseau among others.<\/p>\n
