Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac

“Where cultures interact”. Born from the will of Jacques Chirac, and inaugurated in June 2006, the Quai Branly museum is dedicated to non-European cultures, it brings together the collections of the national museum of arts of Africa and Oceania and those of the museum of Man. Built by Jean Nouvel, surrounded by a garden created by Gilles Clément, decorated by eight Aboriginal artists, this museum offers visitors a wide variety of activities and a choice of works (more than 300,000) of reference on the arts and cultures of Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. Following an initiatory museographic route, the visitor will gradually be invited to discover these arts and civilizations from elsewhere, promoting openness and dialogue between all cultural horizons.
