Musee du Quai Branly


Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, this museum is a special jewel. 
It houses over 3,500 works of art from Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania
and we virtually had the museum to ourselves with the exception of some Parisien school groups. 


Masks from Papouasie-Nouvelle Guinee





Beautiful pottery part of the Mayan culture in the Yucatan peninsula.




In Perou, Cote Sud, the deceased were buried wrapped in this woven fabric.
