Buying guide
Not sure which ticket to choose?
For May 2026, visitors to La Cinémathèque Française should prioritize booking based on whether they intend to visit the permanent Musée Méliès or a high-demand temporary exhibition. While the official site is the best source for specific French concessions, third-party platforms like Tiqets offer a more streamlined English-language booking process and guaranteed time slots for major shows, which is crucial for managing the security-related bottlenecks at the Bercy entrance.
Attending the headline temporary exhibition (e.g., Marilyn Monroe)
This ticket specifically secures access to the featured exhibition with a confirmed time slot, essential for managing crowds during peak May dates.

Official adult tickets for the Musée Méliès are €10, while major 2026 exhibitions like the Marilyn Monroe centenary showcase are €14. Combined tickets (Museum + Exhibition) offer the best value at approximately €16. Reduced rates for students, seniors, and youth under 26 (typically €7–€11) are best booked directly, as is the online-only Family Pack (€22–€45). Note that entry is free for children under 6, while the Musée Méliès remains free for all on the first Sunday of each month.
Discounts
Entry to the Musée Méliès and temporary exhibitions is free for children under 6, disabled visitors (plus one companion), and social benefit recipients (RSA/ASS) with valid documentation. Reduced rates are available for visitors under 26, students, seniors (60+), and large family cardholders. For the Marilyn Monroe exhibition (April–July 2026), all visitors—including those eligible for free entry or using a Paris Museum Pass—are strongly encouraged to reserve a timed-entry slot online to guarantee admission. Notable free access opportunities include the first Sunday of every month (no booking required for the museum) and 'Jeudis Jeunes' on the second Thursday of the month, which offers free evening entry to 18–25s and students with mandatory online registration. Additionally, the venue will offer free admission for the Night of Museums on Saturday, May 16, 2026.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket for La Cinémathèque Française?
No, mobile tickets are fully accepted; you can present the barcode on your smartphone at the entrance to the Musée Méliès or the temporary exhibition galleries.
What is the cancellation policy for exhibition and museum tickets?
Official tickets are typically non-refundable, but booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often provides a 24-hour cancellation window; always verify the specific 'cancellation' label on the checkout page before paying.
Are there separate queues for security and ticket holders?
All visitors must first clear the mandatory security bag check at the main entrance of the Frank Gehry building; once inside, ticket holders can bypass the box office and go directly to the scanning points.
How do free-entry visitors (under 18s or disabled) secure a time slot?
While some visitors qualify for free entry, official rules for 2026 often require booking a 'free' timed-entry reservation online to guarantee access during peak hours; check the official site to see if you can walk up with ID or must pre-book.
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?
There is usually a 15-to-30-minute grace period for timed tickets, but entry is not guaranteed for late arrivals if the galleries have reached maximum capacity.
Can I bring large bags or suitcases into the museum?
No, for security reasons, large luggage and suitcases exceeding 55x35x20 cm are prohibited and there are no long-term storage facilities on-site; only small backpacks and handbags are permitted.
Does a standard exhibition ticket include the Musée Méliès?
Generally, no; the permanent Musée Méliès and temporary exhibitions (like the Marilyn Monroe showcase) require separate tickets unless you purchase a specific combined entry pass.
