To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Quai Branly Museum is going all out! Like any respectable young adult, it embraces, celebrates, questions itself, shows a bit of audacity, and looks to the future. From June 19 to 21, this institution will host an unprecedented three-day event featuring concerts, performances, and food that will take you on a journey around the world.
A Journey Around the World
The festivities revolve around three themes: affirming identity, thinking about the future, and celebrating together. The idea? To honor contemporary forms of expression, transitioning from a space of conservation to a place of true cultural dialogue. The “Branly 20 Years, the Festival” will take place in all the museum's outdoor spaces. Designed as a celebration of creativity, it promises to be an unforgettable experience!.

You can also join in on workshops, introductions, games, and unique events. Between the Cuban ball and the all-night rooftop cinema with films about coming of age, there's definitely something for everyone. On the exhibition side, there will be musical "flash visits", especially around this year's flagship exhibition: Africa Fashion. You'll also have the chance to explore behind the scenes and meet professionals to learn about the collections and how the museum operates.
Already 20 Years?!
Inaugurated on June 20, 2006, by Jacques Chirac, the Musée du quai Branly is the newest addition to the major national museums in Paris. Nestled at the foot of the Eiffel Tower., this building designed by Jean Nouvel, the architect behind the Philharmonie, the Louvre of Abu Dhabi, and the Arab World Institute, hosts an impressive dialogue among cultures from around the globe. With over 370,000 pieces, the museum explores colonial history and stands at the heart of discussions about the restitution of cultural property to their countries of origin.
