Heritage Days 2026: new "Heritage Pass" launched
For European Heritage Days, an innovative program provides free access to multiple sites, including the Marmottan Museum in Paris.
European Heritage Days 2026 were marked by the launch of a new program called the "Heritage Pass," according to a report broadcast by France 24. For this edition, the program enables exceptionally opening monuments to the public that are normally closed and offers free admission to certain sites.
The Marmottan Museum in Paris is among the venues included, where, according to France 24 journalist Valentine Erba reporting from the scene, "some visitors discovered on site that they wouldn't have to pay" to visit the museum during these days.
European Heritage Days represent an annual event each year that allows the general public to discover buildings and cultural institutions that are sometimes inaccessible for the rest of the year. The source does not specify the complete list of sites participating in the new "Heritage Pass" nor the exact terms of its operation for future editions.
