The complete guide to shopping at the Louvre Museum

The Louvre gift shop and bookshops focus on art-led souvenirs, exhibition catalogs, books, prints, and gifts tied to the collection. This guide covers where to shop, typical prices, access, and practical planning details.

Visiting the Louvre Museum shop

Visiting the Louvre Museum shop

The Louvre Museum’s official shopping offer centers on bookshops and boutiques beneath the Pyramid and in major visitor areas inside the museum. The easiest public-access option is in the Carrousel du Louvre, below Cour Napoléon, where you can browse exhibition catalogs, postcards, posters, stationery, jewelry, home décor, and children’s books inspired by the collections. Smaller in-museum shops lean more heavily toward art books and exhibition merchandise, so shopping here feels like a continuation of the visit rather than a stop at a standard Paris souvenir store.

The main public-access retail point under the Pyramid is the easiest place to shop without entering the galleries. It carries Louvre-branded gifts, art books, exhibition catalogs, postcards, posters, stationery, jewelry, and family-friendly items, with a broader souvenir mix than the smaller in-museum bookshops. Access through the Carrousel du Louvre keeps this stop practical before or after your timed museum visit.
