Art Basel Paris

Art Basel Paris fills the Grand Palais from 23 to 25 October 2026 with 206 galleries from 41 countries and territories, 65 of them with spaces in France. A VIP preview runs on 21 and 22 October, so the three public days are the second half of the fair rather than the whole of it. On the closing day entry is reported to shut at 14:00.

The evening session is the cheaper ticket at 40 euros against 47 for a day, which is the clearest signal of where the fair expects the crush. On the closing day, 25 October, entry is reported to close at 14:00, so the last afternoon is not a usable slot. Hours are listed as 9:00 to 18:00 but marked approximate by the source.
