Before Your Visit
It's the smart move. Nantes weekends and French school holidays bring the crowds, and online bookings get priority on the time slots — turn up pre-booked and walk straight in.
From Monday to Thursday the museum runs from 10:00 - 18:00, and from Friday to Sunday from 09:00 - 20:00. Public holidays sometimes change the rhythm — the booking calendar shows what's really open.
Completely. The exhibits are designed so a child and an adult standing in the same spot see two different wonders — that's what makes family visits work so well here.
With pleasure — from 10 people, the website handles your group booking directly. Teachers and team organisers: send us an email and we'll shape the visit around your group.
During Your Visit
Give yourself a good hour — some race through in 45 minutes, others linger past the 90-minute mark hunting for the perfect picture.
Photos and videos are part of the experience here — snap, film, and share as much as you like. A tag always makes our day.
Yes — wheelchair users enjoy full access throughout the museum. A dedicated wheelchair lift serves every level, so the complete experience is open to you.
No locker room here — your bag stays with you, which works perfectly fine. Just avoid bulky luggage and you'll be comfortable throughout.
Tickets & Pricing
The adult entry (from age 18) is €15, the child rate (7 to 17 years) is €12, and reduced entry costs €14. Under-7s visit free, one per paying adult or reduced ticket. Off-peak slots can be cheaper, so check the calendar.
