Quai Branly Museum

The Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac is an ethnological museum dedicated to primitive arts and non-Western civilizations. It is located in the 7th arrondissement, not far from the Eiffel Tower. This is the last large museum created in Paris: it was inaugurated in 2006 and was born from the union of the ancient collections of ethnology of the "Musée de l'Homme" and those of the "Musée national des arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie" , with the intention of placing itself as a large Museum of Extra-Western Civilizations. Inside the museum, the permanent exhibition is organized by continent, each with its own color that characterizes the exhibition space. There are tribal masks, traditional costumes, artifacts and various objects, documents relating to cultural and social themes. The vast exhibition and cultural initiatives are aimed at a multisensory approach: not only visual images, but also tactile, acoustic experiences and even smells. Alongside the works there are also multimedia documents and a path for the blind with information in Braille. The museum is completed by a large garden with paths, small hills, swimming pools and ponds. It is home to 169 trees and about thirty different plant species including oaks and maples to the north and magnolias and cherries to the south. Thanks to the stilts structure, the garden also passes under the museum. In the heart of the garden is an open-air theater which hosts conferences, shows and concerts.
