Musee d’ Orsay ticket question

I thought you could purchase four months in advance? I’m trying to purchase for September 22 and it’s all blacked out from that date forward. Thanks!

Well, tickets are available through 9/21/25 now, so looks like they’re available about 12 weeks out. Your dates should be available soon. Enjoy, it’s a wonderful museum!

September 22 is a Monday. I believe the museum is closed Mondays.

Indeed September 22 is a Monday and the museum is closed on Monday, hence why tickets for September 22 are greyed out.

Tix from 9/22 on have been greyed out for weeks. That has changed in the last one to two days.

My guess is that this was due to the opening of a special John Singer Sargent in Paris exhibit that opens on 9/23/25. If you want to include that, it involves an add-on ticket at no additional cost, but with some limited availability.

BTW, the d’Orsay website was incredibly frustrating. It rejected both my email addresses as invalid, but you have to register to get tix. It liked my wife’s gmail address, fortunately. Third time was the charm, I guess. Then both my first two credit cards were rejected, but the third time was the charm on that, too. Fortunately, that third card had a system that triggered the d’Orsay to have the card company send an email that allowed me to confirm yes, it’s me, all’s good … via an appropriate code.

Whew!
