Quai Branly, The Other Museum

In June 2006, in Paris, the Quai Branly Museum opened its doors to the Public. By collecting a universal heritage, this ambitious scientific project constitutes a major cultural event in an international scale.

Almost 300,000 works from Asia, Oceania, Africa and America are trooped up in the collections. Throughout them, there are so many stories to discover, travels to evoke, cultures to share… The importance and the diversity of the museum represent also an exceptional human adventure for all the mobilized teams. From a range of works representative of the collections’ wealth, this documentary tells the different steps of a “not like the others” museum’s birth.
