Best major museum for avoiding the army of tourists that you'll find at most is the Musée d'Art Contemporain - the permanent collection - which is also free. A double treat.

I've never been there but I would love to

Hey guys,
Another good tip to avoid crowds: as much as possible avoid public transportation and walk to get around the city. If your destination is too far to walk to, take a cab or even better a chauffeur service. I use this one called Service Chauffeur à Paris regularly and it's taken a lot of stress off my plate, especially when it comes to coming home late at night or in the early morning hours when any other mode of transportation can be risky. If you're a tourist, it's also a great way to discover the city as your chauffeur knows everything and can show you around.
Take care
Lalia

Great advice, I will bear this in mind

Nice tip. it is quite rare to find a museum in paris with free entrance. First time I visited the city I had a student card which helped a lot with discounts and so. The second time, I bought a paris pass. Not exactely cheap but Included transportation and access to lots of museums without having to deal with any queue.
