In order to accommodate increasing numbers of visitors, the Musée de l’Armée has launched a project for the renovation of its existing permanent exhibition spaces, notably in the Arms and Armor itinerary and rooms devoted to the World Wars, as well as for creation of an extension, through the MINERVE project.
The monument’s renovation, opening of new rooms, restoration of its collections and décor, and enhancement of its collections through acquisitions are all projects whose scale and success are linked to our sponsors’ generosity.
Supporting the Musée de l’Armée means making your donation part of the history of the prestigious Les Invalides site, whose destiny – from Louis XIV to Napoleon and up to the 5th Republic –merged with the History of France.

Any contribution, however small, will bear witness to your commitment to the Musée de l’Armée by providing it with the means to fulfill its mission of acquainting the public with France’s military history, in all its components, land, air and sea, through its extensive collections.

Your donation entitles you to an income-tax reduction equal to 66% of its total if you pay taxes in France, up to 20% of taxable income. If the 20% of income ceiling is exceeded, the benefit of the reduction can be carried forward over the following 5 years.

For a donation of €500 or more, you benefit from a MaCarte membership card, valid for two people and providing a year’s unlimited access to the Museum’s permanent itinerary and temporary exhibitions.

Your support is invaluable now more than ever.

Established in 1993, with the support of its partners, Les Invalides’ music season continues to reinvent itself, so that its music resonates with the Musée de l’Armée’s activities. Its program highlights its most prestigious military buildings, in particular Saint Louis cathedral with its great organ and historic organ case and the Grand Salon with its perfect acoustics, along with the finest military ensembles and their repertoires.
Supporting the Musée de l’Armée’s musical program means perpetuating the Les Invalides site’s association with music by becoming part of its long tradition of transmission and promoting young talent.
