Tuesday, February 11, 2025 to Sunday, July 06, 2025: Au fil de l'or, The art of dressing from the Orient to the Rising Sun

For the exhibition Au Fil de l'Or. L'art de se vêtir de l'Orient au Soleil-Levant, which runs until July 6, 2025, you must reserve free, time-stamped access via the Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac online ticketing service: https://www.quaibranly.fr/fr/billetterie

From the earliest ornaments sewn onto the garments of the dead to the flamboyant dresses of contemporary Chinese artist Guo Pei that punctuate the entire exhibition, from the gold-woven silks of the Indian and Indonesian worlds to the glittering kimonos of the Edo era, the exhibition unfolds the thousand-year history of gold in the textile arts. In a dialogue combining scientific discovery and artistic perspective, it unveils the dazzling beauty, diversity, technicality and richness of costumes from a vast region stretching from the Maghreb to Japan, via the countries of the Middle East, India and China.

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.

Jobseekers, people on minimum social benefits and people with disabilities are entitled to free admission on presentation of valid proof.

How much does a ticket to the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac cost?

The full price for admission to the museum is €14. Visitors can opt for a twin ticket at €27.90, giving access to the musée du quai Branly and a cruise on the Seine with Bateaux Parisiens.

Why the name quai Branly?

The museum's name pays tribute to Édouard Branly, the French physicist and precursor of the TSF who gave his name to the quay where the museum is located. A symbolic choice of location, since the nearby Eiffel Tower was used at the beginning of the 20th century as an antenna to transmit radio signals, thanks to Branly's technological advances.
In 2021, part of the Quai Branly was renamed Quai Jacques-Chirac, in recognition of the former president's decisive role in the creation of the museum.

What is the theme of the musée du quai Branly?

The museum is dedicated to non-Western arts and civilizations, with an exceptional collection of 370,000 works from four continents. From African masks to Asian textiles, each piece tells a unique story of creation and cultural innovation.
The museum brilliantly blends scientific and aesthetic approaches in its presentation of objects. The museographic tour invites visitors to take a fresh look at artistic practices from all over the world, highlighting their richness and diversity.
A genuine dialogue between cultures is established throughout the rooms, where works from the Neolithic period rub shoulders with 20th-century creations. This fascinating encounter between eras and continents makes the museum a unique place of exchange and discovery.

Which metro station is best for the Quai Branly Museum?

To reach the museum, Alma-Marceau station on line 9 is the most direct point of access, just a 9-minute walk away. Visitors can also take line 6 to Bir-Hakeim or line 8 to École Militaire.
The RER C also serves the museum via the Pont de l'Alma station, particularly convenient for travellers from the Paris suburbs.
The proximity of these different stations offers considerable flexibility for your journey. For example, a trip from Saint-Lazare takes just 6 minutes via line 9, while from République, the journey takes around 22 minutes.

Who designed the Quai Branly plant wall?

Botanist Patrick Blanc created this pioneering work in 2004, two years before the museum opened. His revolutionary creation spans 800 m² and brings together over 15,000 plants belonging to 376 different species from the four corners of the globe.
This botanical feat brilliantly combines aesthetics and ecology. The selected plants, from the Moroccan Atlas and the Himalayas, are perfectly adapted to the Parisian climate. The innovative system designed by this CNRS researcher enables vertical growth without the need for a heavy substrate.
The living wall actively contributes to urban pollution control, while providing a home for a rich biodiversity. From birds to insects, a veritable micro-fauna thrives here, transforming the façade into a unique urban ecosystem.
