What it is
Museums across Paris open for evening programmes during the European Night of Museums. The participating venues and exact date change by edition.
What to expect
Many participating programmes are free, but capacity and reservation rules belong to each museum. Check the official programme before choosing a route.
Getting there
Build the route only after the official venue list appears. Group nearby museums because late-evening travel can consume the useful opening window.
