Will my bag fit?
Musee d'Orsay's published limit: 56 × 45 × 25 cm. Enter your bag's size (cm) to check it.
Measure the outside of the bag, including handles, wheels and pockets. Security staff have the final word — this is a quick check, not a guarantee.
Can you bring a bag or backpack inside?
Backpacks must be deposited in the cloakroom before entering; only items within W56xH45xD25 cm accepted Maximum item size: Luggage with dimensions greater than W56 x H45 x D25 cm is not permitted (must not exceed 56x45x25 cm).
Suitcases & large luggage
Suitcases must be deposited in cloakroom; luggage larger than W56xH45xD25 cm is prohibited entirely (not even accepted in cloakroom)
Lockers, cloakroom & luggage storage

Anything over the size limit has to be stored. On-site storage can fill up at peak times, so a nearby luggage storage is a useful backup.
Find luggage storage in Paris →"Allowed inside" vs "storage available"
Allowed inside means you can carry the item with you through the galleries or the site. Storage available means it isn't allowed with you, but you can leave it in a locker or cloakroom and collect it on the way out. A venue can offer storage and still refuse oversized suitcases entirely — so a large suitcase may be neither allowed inside nor accepted for storage. When in doubt, travel light or store luggage off-site before you arrive.
Practical tips
- Check your bag against the published size limit (Luggage with dimensions greater than W56 x H45 x D25 cm is not permitted (must not exceed 56x45x25 cm)) before you go.
- The free cloakroom can fill up at busy times — have a backup plan.
- Rules and security checks change — always confirm on the official site before your visit.
