Paris' Newest Museum


Looking for something new in Paris? Try the Musée du Quai Branly. The museum is a vast showcase of non-European cultures devoted to "bridging the gap" between civilizations. Some 3,500 items are permanently on display from masks, to statues, to costumes and more. The museum was designed by Jean Nouvel and features a huge space divided into four zones to represent four continents with a central path or “river” for visitors to wander through.
