Young Visitors
Don’t stress out your youngest by telling them “don’t forget, if anyone asks, you’re 4, not 5”. The museum is free up to 25! Click here for the ticket prices.
The tour is suitable for young and old! An educational model awaits you at the start of the exhibition to tell you all about the history of the site.
Along the way, let yourself be guided by our explanatory signs while your little ones are carried away by the explanations given by the characters in the exhibition.
The signs are complemented by our game booklets (for 3–6-year-olds and 7-12 year-olds) and our visitor guides for older children, which will enable you to explore the subject in greater depth and take a piece of the exhibition home with you!
Visitors with Mobility Needs
The entrance for those with specific mobility needs (pushchairs, wheelchairs, etc.) is on Rue du Rossignol 3 (walk along the chapel wall to the gate).
On Site
We’ve thought of everything…* Microwave, changing table, toilet seat reducer, fun booster seats… and place to rest or breastfeed for when your little one gets restless!
*…or almost! Don’t hesitate to let us know at reception if you notice any shortcomings.
People with Special Needs
With the help of the non-profit organisation Les Cèdres and the Susa Foundation, we are working to make our exhibition accessible to as many visitors as possible. A translation into sign language and an Easy to Read and Understand version of our guide are currently being created.
Visitors with Mobility Needs
The entrance for those with specific mobility needs (pushchairs, wheelchairs, etc.) is on Rue du Rossignol 3 (walk along the chapel wall to the gate).
This is also where the mobility parking is located. Ring the bell in front of the barrier, say that you have come to visit the most beautiful museum in the world and that you would like to use the mobility parking space: the barrier will open, as if by magic!
