Supported by French President Jacques Chirac, the Musee of Quai Branly is setting out to showcase the importance of the art and civilization of Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas at the crossroads of many different cultural, religious and historical influences. Situated on the banks of the Seine at the foot of the Eiffel Towel, the museum is a forum for scientific and artistic dialogue, a crossroads of exchange between the public, researchers, students as well as contemporary creators.
Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, the Musee du Quai Branly will exhibit 3,500 objects from this universal heritage permanently and devotes nearly 5,000 m2 to temporary exhibits.
Conceived by Gilles Clement, featuring 180 trees that are more than de 15 meters tall and many different plant species, the garden has been designed to be a border of greenery surrounding the museum. 15,000 plants of 150 species from the entire world have been planted over 800 m2 composing CNRS researcher Patrick Blanc’s plant wall, which covers the facade of the administrative building, “Branly”.
Eight of the most famous Australian Aboriginal artists have stamped their worldview on the ceilings and facade.
There, you can see a part of facade reflected in the window panes of a buiding in front of the Museum
