Why visit the Quai Branly Museum
A cultural array
Housing an extensive collection of over 700,000 photographs and 300,000 artifacts from Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, including musical instruments, textiles, and clothing, the museum is a treasure trove of cultural diversity, all under one roof.
All about the architectural genius
Designed by Jean Nouvel with a vision to create "a museum built around a collection," Quai Branly is built on stilts along the banks of the River Seine, surrounded by lush gardens. Its unique design philosophy emphasizes fluidity and transparency like no other.
An ethnographic approach
Unlike traditional art museums that focus on aesthetic appreciation with decorative arts, the Quai Branly Museum adopts an ethnographic approach, prioritizing the study and presentation of artifacts related to the customs, traditions, and daily lives of various ethnic groups.
