Monnaie de Paris

This museum is a hidden gem, offering one of the most captivating experiences in Paris. It delves into the art of coin craftsmanship and the evolution of metalwork over time. The collection includes coins from ancient Greece, Rome, and modern eras. Beyond coins and ingots, you’ll discover fascinating stories, such as the recovery of treasures from a sunken Dutch ship. Visitors can also explore the impressive coin-printing machines in action. Ideal for families, friends, or anyone seeking a unique activity, this museum offers a relaxed experience without the long queues typical of Parisian attractions. Conveniently located near the Louvre, it’s a perfect addition to your visit.

Very beautiful building next to Seine River. This year. The place hosted the 10th anniversary of Asia Now exhibition Art Paris.

I visited here a few years ago. The exhibition was great, as was the museum building itself.

I visited the museum for free because it was the free weekend so it was a bit crowded but still need to book ticket. I was given coins to carve at the beginning of the tour Displays were nice but a bit too technical at the beginning

We've been visiting the Museum on August 23 for the permanent exhibition and also temporary exhibition featuring Money in the Art. Famous and iconic subjects are on display in this museum covering more than millennial operation of coin minting in France. I particularly loved the items on consumerism in the Art.

We had a really good time visiting the Minnie de Paris Museum, specifically the Arcade exhibit that had vintage video and pinball machines that you could play. If you purchased entry to the exhibit online, they gave you 12 tokens to play the games. Some of the machines were free to play (at the front of the exhibit). It was a lot of fun to go back in time to play machines that I knew when they first came out. Even more fun to be able to play with my kids. My only encounter with someone rude in France happened here, however. There were lineups to play and everyone was waiting patiently… except one individual behind me who took exception to the fact that one of my kids and I were quite good on one machine… and had a fit like a 2 yr old because she had to wait. Luckily my French is limited so I couldn’t understand her… so it didn’t bother me. Besides that, everyone else that we encountered in Paris was great - happy, helpful and pretty cool.

Awesome place. So much history here. Need to visit.

Very fascinating museum about all forms of currency. Also, special exhibits could be available for viewing. It gives glimpses into how money is produced both past and present.
