Gallery of Evolution

It’s a place where you can learn about many different species, but almost everything is written in French. Finding information in English at the info points is quite difficult. There was no queue at the entrance, so we got in quickly. There’s no need to buy tickets online.

The Evolution Museum in Paris left a great impression on us! It’s huge, with interactive exhibits that even the kids enjoyed. The realistic models of animals and dinosaurs were especially impressive. However, we missed having more clear instructions and descriptions in English for some of the exhibits. The museum is worth dedicating at least 4 hours to visit.

Big museum with many exhibits and a few floors There are cafes on every floor You need around 3 hours to see everything

The place is fantastic. The audio and visual effects of thunder and rain were particularly impressive. The only minus - the prices in the cafe for a snack or even a coffee are high

Wow! It was a very rainy Wednesday, and we weren't going to any grand magasin like the BHV or Bon Marché to escape the downpour. This beautiful Galley is stunning. Very much recommended. A lot to see and do for all ages. There weren't big pushy crowds. There were families, couples, school children in small organized groups studying. Excellent way to dodge a very wet day.

I have invited my dad. I believe it’s an interesting place but there was mostly only French version and there was almost no network when you’re in the building so my dad could not translate to understand. Without information it looks nice but no that comprehensive. I’d recommend it but not for foreign tourists

Great exhibition. Good for kids exploring I went on Thursday, bought tickets online, Got there about 11 am with no line but about 40 mins after that there were a lot of kids outing groups came.

I'm struggling to not give it 4*, it deserves 5* for the immersive visual experience, but I really wish they had txt in English as well. This still won't stop me from recommending it to others.

This huge and beautiful 19th-century building houses the grand gallery of evolution, which is home to more than 7,000 preserved species. It's four floors and has a ton to look at. Everything is in French, so I couldn't read a thing, but that still didn't stop me from marveling at everything (including the changing lights and sounds). I probably spent an hour going through here on my own, but I imagine if my child were with me, it would've been longer (and I hope to return to Paris with him one day and bring him here).

I really liked the architecture inside the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution. The digital ceiling display is pretty cool. It changes every 15 mins and it imitates the weather. The interesting one is the thunderstorm, B actually thought it was raining outside. I can see this place being comparable to our Beaty Museum at UBC in Vancouver Canada. Very similar but there are much more things to see here. The animals are neatly organized by types (not really by location). They do have descriptions/info board but they are all in French. Also they have videos that you can watch and again that is all in French as well. I am guessing this place is not really tailored to tourists or they don't get a lot of tourists visiting so they don't have an English version. I would say you need about 2 - 3 hours to spare if you want to check out this gallery. Admission to get in is super cheap for what you get to see. Admission is €14 per adult. Not bad.
