This tour is available for reservation through September 30, 2008.

The new Quai Branly Museum features the indigenous arts of Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas in an innovative, kaleidoscopic building designed by Jean Nouvel. Despite the controversy surrounding its opening in 2006, Branly has proven to be a popular success, with some 1.7 million visiting the museum last year alone. Your private guide, an anthropologist and specialist in the arts of Western Polynesia, will help you navigate a global voyage through these extraordinarily diverse collections. You’ll see stunning objects ranging from an Amazonian feather headdress to an exquisite Ashanti gold weight from Africa. The tour’s object-by-object approach will help you to understand each selected work’s significance to the peoples who made them.

Rates. 1.5-hour tour: €70 for individuals, or €60 per person for parties of two or more. Includes price of admission.
