Here's a little-known but very useful tip: some Parisian museums offer discounts to visitors who present their admission ticket to another museum.
Good news: the more tickets you buy to visit Parisian museums, the more you can save. Here's a great deal that many art lovers are unaware of: some museums in the capital offer reduced rates to visitors who present a recent admission ticket issued by another museum. These often overlooked partnerships are a godsend for tourists passing through or museum enthusiasts who want to visit several art venues in a few days.
Here's how it works: when you visit a museum, keep your admission ticket. You will need to show this ticket at the ticket office of the next museum you visit: it serves as proof of eligibility for the reduced rate. However, this offer has an expiration date: depending on the museum, the reduced rate is applicable between 8 and 15 days after the date of your first museum visit.
So, which museums are participating in this partnership? Not all museums in Paris offer this deal, but the list does include some major museums and very interesting art venues.
