Paris museums closed onTuesdays?
 

On a travel program this week on T.V.,one of my travel buddies said they heard them say the museums in Paris were always closed on Tuesdays. I've not heard this before. We will be in Paris from Monday through Thursday. It would really change our site seeing itinerary of this is true. Any advice?

National museums (the Louvre and others) are closed on Tuesdays. Museums of the city of Paris (such as the D'Orsay) are closed on Mondays. It will be very worth your while to buy the museum pass in order to bypass the long lines for entry.

I seem to recall that the D'Orsay is closed on Tuesday, but it is open on Monday.

Louvre and Musee Picasso are closed on Tuesdays.<BR>D'Orsay and Centre Pompidou are closed on Mondays.<BR>Just to name some of the most popular.<BR>Best is to buy the weekly what's on "Pariscope" which runs from Wed-Tue<BR>www.pariscope.fr (only in French)for all details.
