Amenities

Loan of Equipment

Walking sticks, strollers, and wheelchairs are available free of charge to visitors who may have difficulty getting around the museum.

Equipment is generally loaned in exchange for a piece of ID (or, in the case of folding chairs, on presentation of a Louvre copyist's card). Loaned equipment may not be taken out of the museum.

Checkrooms

Visitors with tickets or passes may use the museum's checkrooms (coats and luggage) free of charge.

Checked objects must be picked up the same day, before museum closing time.

For safety and comfort reasons, voluminous bags are not allowed inside the museum galleries (Visitor regulations, Article 8). Visitors are therefore advised not to bring large bags or cases to the Louvre.
