Musee du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris

My favourite museum. A bubble of peace in the middle of the city. We stopped in November to see the Black Indians and Kimono exhibits. Kinda wish the explanations were all translated to English and not only the curators notes. Many of the captions are only in French :( You might want to book your tickets before dropping by on weekends. We went on Tuesday - no queue at all.

I visited only the garden and it blew me away. It's like a little hidden piece of wilderness in an urban surrounding. At first you see the fence on the outside that looks almost like a part of the nature, a ditch with water and reeds and than you enter the garden up a little hill and the whole new world is opening up. Utmost beautiful setting with some light sticks that gave the space unrealistic, surreal feeling. You walk across curvy paths and there are hidden little oases everywhere.

Very cool museum with tons and tons of native artifacts from all over the world. Outfits, weapons, masks, totems, statues, etc. If you're not interested in native peoples, don't come here because there is not any variety in the exhibits beyond worldly native peoples. Outside the museum there is a very nice forest/garden area with walking paths and seating as well, which is free to access.

What a beautiful display of art and culture from the indigenous people around the world. I love not chasing famous spots and discovering gems like this one instead. With 12 euro tickets and people under 25 going free it’s a great place to visit for the budget traveler.

Great architecture and landscape design. I like how the approach is very smooth, and that the benches in the museum is designed with rounded smooth corners that blend into the wooden wall, which creates a warm feeling that echos the river Seine. I saw the V&A Kimono exhibition. It's such a treat! The temporary exhibition place however is a bit small and crowded.
