Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac Museum

The Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac Museum, or Musée du quai Branly, is a museum in the heart of Paris offering thousands of artefacts from the Americas, Oceana, Asia and Africa. These artefacts represent indigenous art and culture in all its forms. It draws over 1 million visitors annually.

The museum was built by President Jacques Chirac to commemorate his tenure as president and to honour calls for this type of establishment that had gone on for nearly 100 years. It combined the collections of several museums into a single, focused, stunning example of indigenous culture from all over the world.
