The fact that the museums are now in a position to present collections of outstanding quality is due to the generosity of donors, enthusiastic collectors and artists who have all contributed to their development.

Supporting the City of Paris museums is a way of making your name part of the history of these prestigious institutions, which work tirelessly and regularly to provide every type of visitor with a wide-ranging, high-quality cultural and artistic experience.

However large or small your contribution, your generous donation is a precious asset for the museums and a testament to your commitment to the community and your belief in the future.

How you can support us

There are several different ways in which a donation can contribute to the development and the impact of the museum :

 

Works of art or financial donations

The collections of the museums of the city of Paris have been enriched over the years by numerous donations of works of art from private individuals. Our collections are inalienable and in constant rotation, which guarantees that the works you donate to Paris Museums will always find new audiences.

Any amount or work donated to Paris Musées is deductible from the income tax due the following year, up to 66% of the value of the donation, within the limit of 20% of taxable income.

You can also choose to make a manual donation, which consists of handing over various types of goods (painting, art object, support check) by simple agreement letter and without the need for a notary*.

Our teams dedicated to philanthropy will be able to assist you in your approach. Write us at mecenat.parismusees@paris.fr or call 01 80 05 40 70.
