Insert Coin at the Monnaie de Paris: our exclusive images of the fun exhibition

I want my ticket

When the Monnaie de Paris enters the game: discover the museum’s latest Insert Coin exhibition!

A little game of baby, what do you think? La Monnaie de Paris plays the game and transforms into a gigantic arcade room for an ultra-regressive pop exhibition that will, it's a safe bet, awaken your childhood memories. Remember this old neighborhood café which hid a slightly worn pinball machine behind the bar. Conversely, if during your adolescence you only swore by arcade games such as Pong, Space Invaders or Donkey Kong, you will finally be able to put your title back into play.

The rules are simple. First step: collect your tokens. Top step: set your sights on one of the forty vintage coin-operated machines at your disposal, win the first round, climb the levels, all without losing a single life. Final step: do everything you can to smash the iconic Pac-Man's high score and choose a new opponent. In case of failure, joystick pros and retrogaming fans can try cult fighting games from the 90s like Street Fighter II or Tekken.

But be careful, we'd like to warn you right away: cheaters are prohibited here and bad players are invited to control their frustration... We bet you'll win?

EXCEPTIONAL NIGHT TIME
Don't miss the festive evening "On the road to the 1970s" on Wednesday April 24 from 7 p.m. for a nostalgic evening.
Bring out your most beautiful floral prints and bell bottoms, your sequined dresses and flower crowns, your thigh-high boots and platforms to take yourself back to the 1970s thanks to the “cafe” at Monnaie de Paris!

I'm going back in time!
