Why visit the Quai Branly Museum?
1. Unique cultural fusion: The museum features a rich collection of over 700,000 photographs and 300,000 artifacts and objects (musical instruments, fabrics, and clothing) from across Asia, Africa, Oceania, and The Americas, taking you on a fascinating cultural journey.
2. Architectural marvel: Jean Nouvel’s design idea for Quai Branly Museum was - “it is a museum built around a collection.” To achieve this, the museum was perched on stilts, docked on the banks of the River Seine, surrounded by a verdant landscape (designed by Gilles Clément), covering an area of 18,000 m2.
3. Immersive exhibitions: The museum explores unique themes, such as – identity, globalization, and cultural exchange, thus challenging perceptions and encouraging dialogues. It’s not just a visual exhibit, it’s a whole sensory experience at Quai Branly Museum.
4. Ethnographic approach: Unlike traditional art museums where paintings, sculptures, and the decorative arts are collected, preserved, and exhibited in galleries for aesthetic appreciation, the Quai Branly Museum adopts an ethnographic approach which focuses on collecting, studying, and presenting artifacts and objects related to the cultures, customs, traditions of different ethnic groups and societies.
