Museum, Paris, FR.
Inaugurated in June 2006, the Musée du quai Branly shines a spotlight on the arts and civilisations of Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas, which stand at the crossroads of many different cultural, religious and historic influences. "Where cultures meet in dialogue" is thus the motto of the institution. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, the Musée du quai Branly displays a permanent world heritage collection of 3,500 artifacts spread over 5,000 square meters, and also devotes some 5,000 square meters to temporary exhibitions. The library also includes nearly 200,000 entries of printed works and over 4,000 references of audiovisual documents.
