To ensure your safety, the Palais Galliera applies the Vigipirate plan, introduced by the French authorities following the 2015 attacks. This plan is in force in all the museums of the City of Paris, as in all places open to the public:

• Checks have been stepped up at the museum entrance.
• We would be grateful if you would comply in the interests of everyone.
• All bags or luggage exceeding 40x30x20cm are prohibited.
• The museum's security service may take any measures it deems necessary, without prior notice.

Together, we must remain vigilant!
