Musée Grévin opens its reception rooms after hours for private evenings of up to 250 guests at a standing cocktail or 130 at a seated dinner. The wax museum stands at 10 boulevard Montmartre in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Its hire offer covers company parties, greetings evenings, award ceremonies, conferences and dance nights, with a 200-seat theater available for the formal part of the program.
Seminars and company events
The official offer is built around the evening rather than the working day. Organizers use it for year-end parties, new year greetings, award ceremonies and conferences. A typical format opens in the theater, with a prize-giving, a show or a talk for up to 200 seated guests, and then moves to the reception rooms for the cocktail or the dinner. The Tapis Rouge area receives guests for the aperitif and can host a bar when the night ends in the Palais des Mirages, which turns into a dance floor.
Several entertainment formats can be added. In the escape game, the lights dim in the Salle des Colonnes and teams go back through the museum with candlesticks to bring the light back. A staged tour lets characters such as Gustave Eiffel, Madame de Lamballe or Arsène Lupin guide guests around, with stories about how the figures are made and about the museum's history. A mime-led visit and photo animations (connected printer, roaming polaroid, photocall) complete the list.
Rooms and capacities
The Coupole and the Salle des Colonnes are two adjoining reception rooms. Together they take 250 guests for a cocktail dinner or 130 for a seated dinner. The Théâtre seats 200. The Tapis Rouge is a welcome and aperitif area. The Palais des Mirages is the dance space. A 360 degree view of the Coupole and the Salle des Colonnes is available on the museum's site.
Catering
The official page presents the evening as a package built with the museum's team. A client testimonial on the same page mentions a site visit before the event, a list of approved caterers, access to the whole museum and hosts supervising the evening. Ask the events team which of these apply to your date and group size.
History and setting
The Théâtre was built in 1900 as an Italian-style hall and decorated by Antoine Bourdelle and Jules Chéret. It is listed on the supplementary inventory of historic monuments. The museum describes its two reception rooms as a baroque setting with a playful side. The Palais des Mirages is an optical illusion hall designed by Eugène Hénard and shown at the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
Getting there
The museum is on the Grands Boulevards in the 9th arrondissement, a short walk from the Opéra district. Grands Boulevards station is next to the entrance. Evening events run when the museum is closed to the public, so arrival times are set with the events team.
