Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac

ArtHistoryOpen until 7pmFrom €14RER C - Pont de l'Alma

Das 2006 eröffnete und von Jean Nouvel entworfene Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac widmet sich den indigenen Künsten und Kulturen Afrikas, Asiens, Ozeaniens und Amerikas. Die Sammlung umfasst mehr als eine Million Objekte, von denen rund 3.500 zugleich entlang einer geschwungenen, schwach beleuchteten Galerie am Flussufer nahe dem Eiffelturm gezeigt werden. Das Gebäude ist von einem Garten und einer lebenden grünen Wand des Botanikers Patrick Blanc umhüllt, was das Museum auch architektonisch zu einem eigenständigen Wahrzeichen der zeitgenössischen Baukunst macht.
