The trauma of being a 26-year-old art fan in Paris
Being a 26-year-old in Paris is a pretty demoralising experience (or as demoralising as it can be in such a wonderful and varied city).
The chief cause of distress for people of this unfortunate age is that there’s suddenly a lot you can’t do for free anymore. Art is one of them.
Young people under the age of 26 with an EU passport can get into some of the best museums and galleries in the world that are based in Paris for free or for vastly reduced prices. It’s always worth taking your passport out with you up to the age of 25, but as soon as you cross that threshold that privilege is cruelly stripped from you.
Or so I thought.
One kind soul did take pity on me at the desk of the Pompidou Centre when I visited recently – no doubt well aware of the trauma so many 26-year-olds face when looking for art in the city nowadays.
