The Musée en Herbe used to be located in the Jardin d'Acclimatation, in the 16th arrondissement, but in 2016, the new Musée en Herbe moved to the heart of the Marais, at 23 rue de l'Arbre-Sec, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Since then, dozens ofexhibitions, workshops and guided family tours have taken place there, introducing the youngest visitors to contemporary art through playful, colorful and truly fun exhibitions to discover.
Unlike many Parisian museums, the Musée en Herbe has no permanent collections: only temporary exhibitions are presented, each with a particularly immersive scenography.
Throughout the year, and depending on the exhibitions of the moment, the Musée en Herbe offers a wide range of activities for children, with a treasure hunt for children, mediators in each room to welcome and guide you, guided tours for families or adults, and numerous workshops for children. For toddlers, aged 2 to 5, there are Baby-Z'Ateliers, to be enjoyed by both parent and child, while for older children there are Maxi-Z'Ateliers, for ages up to 12!
The Musée en Herbe is open every day from 10 am to 7 pm, and costs €7.5 full price (for anyone over 3), €3 for students and €6.5 for concessions (seniors, large families, jobseekers, etc.). Children under 3 don't pay!
The entrance is on rue de l'Arbre-Sec, and the site is served by a number of lines: line 1 (Louvre-Rivoli or Châtelet stops), line 7 (Pont-Neuf or Châtelet stop), line 4 (Les Halles stop) and lines 11 and 14 (both Châtelet stops). Please note, however, that only line 14 is wheelchair-accessible. The Musée en Herbe can also be reached by RER lines A, B and D, getting off at Châtelet station.
Le Musée en Herbe partially closed this Saturday, October 24, due to the demonstration.
In response to the demonstration scheduled in Paris for this Saturday, October 24, 2026, the Musée en Herbe has decided to exceptionally close its doors to the public from 1 p.m. onward. [Read more]
