The Louvre admission fee is EUR 15. Tickets may be purchased online for EUR17, allowing you to enter quickly rather than waiting in the normally large line. Everyone under the age of 18 gets admitted free all year, and everyone under the age of 26 is admitted free on Friday evenings. The Louvre opens at 9:30 a.m., but visitors can arrive up to an hour before then. In addition, there are special exhibitions that run for several months, often closing years after their opening date; these cost extra to see and are not included in your general admission ticket. Check with the museum for current exhibition times. There are also many other fees that may need to be paid in order to visit the museum. These include reservation fees, design museum fees, photography fees, etc. The amount of these fees varies depending on what type of ticket is being used and how many people are attending the show. There are also additional charges for using certain parts of the museum (i.e. special exhibits). In conclusion, admission to the Louvre is quite expensive. A family of four would need to spend about $60 per person to visit the museum.
