Sunday update — June 28, 2026
After two days of unusually high attendance, the Grévin Museum is implementing a new setup starting this Sunday, June 28, 2026. The museum stays open to the public, but no One Piece souvenir cards will be handed out this Sunday.
Card distribution is now suspended until further notice. The museum will announce new procedures in the coming days, with the stated aim of issuing more cards than initially planned to better accommodate fans and visitors.
The museum also notes that the Cabaret du Soleil area, dedicated to One Piece, remains a permanent exhibit. Visitors can continue to explore this space over time, independently of when card distribution resumes.
An unusually large crowd gathered this Saturday, June 27, outside the Grévin Museum, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. While some initially believed in the launch of a new attraction or the presence of a celebrity, the reason was quite different: hundreds of One Piece fans were hoping to lay hands on a promotional card that had become the object of everyone’s cravings.
With crowds to spare, already very strong from Friday, June 26, the museum had first announced in an Instagram story that the establishment was sold out. The next day, the same scene: "Saturday, June 27, the Grévin Museum is SOLD OUT today, card distribution is halted," the institution said in the morning, confirming that late arrivals would no longer be able to obtain the coveted gift.
This surge of interest stems from the opening, on June 26, of a brand-new immersive space dedicated to One Piece. For the first time in its history, the museum hosts the ten members of the Straw Hat crew in a set spanning more than 80 square meters, created in collaboration with Toei Animation. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper are showcased as life-size statues specially manufactured in Japan.

But what draws collectors most is the exclusive promotional card for the ONE PIECE CARD GAME handed out to the first 50,000 visitors with a valid ticket. Specially illustrated for the collaboration between the Grévin Museum and Toei Animation, this card isn’t available anywhere else and is issued at a rate of one copy per visitor, while stocks last.
In just a few hours, the card started showing up on resale platforms, with some sellers asking prices in the hundreds of euros, or more depending on the listing.
As soon as the museum opened, an impressive queue stretched along the Grands Boulevards. With fans eager to explore this new space dedicated to the cult manga and collectors aiming to snag this limited-edition card, the operation's success far exceeded expectations. The museum was forced to halt distributions that Saturday, unable to offer any more slots for the day.
Created by Eiichiro Oda in 1997, One Piece is now one of the world's most popular manga series, with more than 600 million copies in print. Its collectible card game, launched by Bandai, is also gaining ground with players and collectors, helping to explain the buzz seen in recent days around the Grévin museum.
