One museum, four continents!
Dazzling architecture created by Jean Nouvel, just a short distance from the Eiffel Tower. A voyage to the core of astonishing collections highlighting African, Asian, Oceanian, and American arts and civilizations. A must-see cultural site in Paris !
Heading for Haiti, to the origins of the zombie myth. Far from “Walking Dead” and “World War Z”, the exhibition reveals the fantasies, beliefs and fears behind the world's most famous “undead” figure. Forget everything you think you know about zombies... Far from the contagious undead of cinema and pop culture, the exhibition takes you to Haiti on the trail of a veritable myth. Between knowledge and fiction, the exhibition reveals the realities behind the fear of this iconic “undead”. It also explores the construction of the myth in the Western collective imagination, from its evocation in 1697 in the novel by French writer Pierre-Corneille Blessebois to George A. Romero's legendary film, Night of the Dead. Romero's legendary film Night of the Living Dead.
Continue your discovery of the museum with a gourmet meal in the panoramic restaurant Les Ombres or a snack in Café Branly.

There is nothing negative to say about the experience.The museum building itself is brillliant.
The exhibits especoally Asie are great. I do think to did not cover the Americas well. The inuit are so much more creative than you displayed. Their contemporary art is not presented at all at Branley.
