Luggage storage Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac

Luggage rules at the Musée Quai Branly

Many visitors to the Musée Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac arrive with a bag and assume they can simply check it at the door, but the museum's storage rules are tighter than the surrounding sights might suggest.

The museum itself is easy to reach by Metro Line 9 at Alma-Marceau or Iéna, Line 8 at École Militaire, and Line 6 at Bir-Hakeim, though none of those stations change what happens to a suitcase once you're at the entrance. Nearby, the Eiffel Tower has no left luggage or cloakroom at all, while the Grand Palais bans anything over 42 x 30 x 20 cm outright. You’ll still pass through security screening at the entrances even if your bag meets the size limit. If you want a longer visit, the museum stays open until 10:00 pm on Thursdays.

RER C stops at Pont de l'Alma or Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel, so there is a rail option as well.

Nearby sights and their own bag rules

The Eiffel Tower has no left luggage, cloakroom, or storage facilities for bags, so anything you bring there has to stay with you or go somewhere else entirely. Large suitcases are not permitted at the Grand Palais, and items exceeding 42 x 30 x 20 cm are not allowed anywhere inside for security reasons.

Under current Vigipirate security measures, suitcases of all sizes and large bags are prohibited inside the Musée Rodin; only small backpacks are allowed, though it does provide a free cloakroom in the Hôtel Biron at the entrance to the permanent collections.

At Palais de Tokyo, suitcases and large bags are forbidden, and only bags smaller than 55 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm are permitted, which must be left in the cloakroom or lockers. Palais de Tokyo is served by Metro Line 9 at Iéna and Alma-Marceau, plus RER C at Pont de l'Alma, so it's an easy bag-rules comparison if you're planning to visit both.

The Eiffel Tower is located close to the museum, so it’s a very short walk between the two.
