How about a free museum? In order to promote French culture (like it needs promotion…), the French Ministry of Culture and Communication has decided to make a few of its museums free of charge for six months.
From January 1 - June 30, 2008, these Paris museums will be free of charge (for permanent collections only):
The musée Guimet
The musée de Cluny
The musée des Arts et métiers
The musée des Antiquités nationales de Saint-Germain-en-Laye
The musée national de la Renaissance d’Ecouen
le musée de l’Air et de l’Espace du Bourget
During the same time period, anyone 18 -26 will have free access to some larger museums in Paris, on certain days of the week and only from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.:
Wednesday: The musée national d’Art moderne, centre Georges Pompidou
Thursday: The musée d’Orsay
Friday: The Louvre
Saturday: The musée du quai Branly
