Picasso Museum Tickets and Seine River Cruise

Picasso Museum Tickets and Seine River Cruise

This combination ticket lets you explore Paris's premier collection of Picasso masterpieces before seeing the city's landmarks from the water. You'll visit the Musée National Picasso-Paris, housed in a stunning 17th-century townhouse in the Marais, then take a one-hour Seine cruise past Notre-Dame, the Louvre and other riverside sights.

The Picasso Museum holds the world's largest collection of the artist's work, with over 5,000 pieces spanning his entire career. You'll see everything from early Blue Period paintings to later ceramic experiments, plus rare sketches and personal documents that reveal his creative process. The museum's 22 rooms are arranged chronologically, making it easy to follow Picasso's artistic evolution. The building itself, the Hôtel Salé, is an architectural gem with original features from the 1600s, including a magnificent grand staircase.

After exploring the museum at your own pace, head to the Seine for your river cruise. The boat passes major Paris landmarks while multilingual audio commentary explains their history and significance. This flexible experience works perfectly with other Louvre Museum tickets or a Paris walking tour of the historic centre.
