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.
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.
