Buying a Museum Pass in Paris

Arriving at Charles De Gaulle this fall and trying to figure out best way to get a Museum Pass. We are arriving at Terminal 2E. Am I correct that you can get the pass at the TI in that terminal? If so, can someone please give me general directions to the TI from the customs area.
Alternatively, I guess I can purchase the pass at the first place we go to. We are staying in the 6th between Luxembourg Garden and St Sulpice church. May go to either Delacroix Museum or Pantheon the first afternoon we are there. Would that be easier? I am guessing that either would have a relatively short line for ticket purchase.
Thanks in advance for the help

They sell the pass at numerous sites all over the airport. You'll see signs after you exit into the main part of the airport. I was worried about finding a place to buy them, but there was a kiosk literally right as we exited immigration. As we wandered the airport after that, I saw the pass for sale at many other places. There's no line to buy there.

Note, if you use the pass on your first afternoon you are possibly wasting some of its potential. Time on the pass is measured in actual days, not 24 hour periods.

Buy it at Delacroix or Pantheon, or any other attraction it covers, but don't start using it till you're ready to start the clock on its duration -- preferably in the morning so you'll get the whole first day's worth. Except for Louvre and Orsay, most other pass-covered attractions won't have long lines. I wouldn't spend time looking for the pass at the airport, when you're tired and hauling bags and maybe also looking for an ATM. Just get into the city and take care of it then. Here's an interactive map showing where it's sold -- note the Cluny Museum also in your general area.
