Quai Branly Museum
Walking distance from the Eiffel Tower, the Quai Branly museum
which brings together the Musée des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie
and the ethnography department from the Musée de l'Homme. The
Quai Branly museum is set to become another jewel in Paris cultural
crown, and a particularly bright one at that. The Quai Branly
museum itself is a stunning modern structure designed by Jean
Nouvel, the man responsible for other modern Paris landmarks such
as the Institut du Monde Arabe and the Fondation Cartier. In addition,
an impressive vertical garden of over 150 species of plants adorns
the northern facade facing the Seine. As if that werent enough,
the Quai Branly museum will also include a huge public garden.
Inside, the Quai Branly museum houses primitive art from Africa
and Oceana, as well as Asia and the Americas. Appropriate artifacts
have been transferred from other museums to help stock the permanent
collection, and the Quai Branly museum has already set up strategic
relationships with other institutions worldwide. The museography
will thus present an original and refreshing counterpoint to the
other mostly Eurocentric museums in Paris.
