Buying guide
For a standard visit to the Galerie de l'Homme, a pre-booked entry ticket is the most efficient choice to avoid the Trocadéro ticket office queues. If you are seeking deep anthropological insights or planning to visit multiple sites around the Palais de Chaillot, consider a guided tour or a combo ticket to maximize your time and context.
This is the baseline option for self-guided exploration of the museum's three main evolutionary sections.

The main entrance is located at 17 Place du Trocadéro, within the Passy wing of the Palais de Chaillot. All visitors, including those with pre-booked timed tickets or 'skip-the-line' passes, must undergo mandatory Vigipirate security screening; these security checks cannot be bypassed. To avoid the longest queues, arrive at the 11:00 AM opening or after 4:00 PM. Once inside, the cloakroom and elevators to the permanent collections (Galerie de l'Homme) are located on Level 1. Be aware that large luggage exceeding 55x35x20 cm is strictly prohibited and there are no storage facilities for oversized items.
As of June 2026, the official price for a standard adult ticket is €15. This is a combined ticket providing access to both the permanent Galerie de l’Homme and current temporary exhibitions. Admission remains free for visitors under 18 and EEA residents aged 18–25 with valid ID.
Entry is free for visitors under 18 and EEA residents aged 18–25 with valid ID, as well as for disabled visitors and one companion. While those eligible for free admission can often obtain tickets at the onsite desk, booking a 'Free' timed-entry slot online is highly recommended for June visits to guarantee access during peak hours. All reduced or free tickets require physical or digital proof of eligibility, such as a passport or disability card, at the security checkpoint.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
