As museums go, the Musée Quai Branly is a newcomer. Close to la Tour Eiffel, facing the Seine this museum opened in 2006 and features indigenous art, cultures, and civilizations from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Designed by Jean Nouvel, whose Green Wall is part of the exterior, this is a new museum to add to your long list.

37 Quai Branly

Métro: Pont de l'Alma, Alma-Monceau
Incorporating all those cultures is no easy task; well-done, though.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about this photo is the way the strawberry blonde woman on the left side stands out. Is that a leopard-print coat she's wearing?
ReplyDeletehow funny; I was there yesterday (not in the museum but noticing that there is another one I didn't know about!). Did a wonderful (short and brisk) walk and marvelled at all the beauty to be had for free in this amazing city!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo-- I must have walked by there a dozen times. It's long!
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to return!
ReplyDeleteneat shot, and the woman on the left is color coordinated with the mural
