Paris, France abounds with museums. A diverse range of themes is covered in the museum; drawings, furniture, literature, music, painting, photography, stamps, sculptures, and tapestries, to name but a few. If you are a culture vulture, invest in Paris Museum Pass. The pass will give you complimentary access to more than sixty museums and several monuments located in the Paris region, including the city. For instance, Musée du Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Cité des Sciences et de l’industrie, Tours Notre Dame, Conciergerie, Arc de Triomphe, Domaine de Versailles, Château de Vincennes,  and Maison d’Auguste Rodin. However, free access is limited to permanent collections only.
