A new museum will be opening in Paris this month, the Musee de Quai Branly. It is dedicated to art from Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Oceania region. It's not just dedicated to art in those regions but also to objects and artifacts and of the people and civilisations. I wouldn't normally be interested in this kind of museum but I will definitely go just to see the Oceania section which includes an area dedicated to Aboriginal art and civilisation.
The museum is in a great location right in the centre of Paris, on the Seine. It is in a new building next to the Eiffel Tower and not far from the Musee d'Orsey. The building itself is partially covered in Aboriginal art. The building is protected by a huge garden covering around 18,000 sqm and is planted with almost 200 trees and 30 plant varieties including rows of magnolias and cherry trees. The building and garden will probably turn out to be the most interesting part of the museum.
I look forward to the opening later this month.
