Principles of navigating
Quick access
To facilitate the navigation of web surfers who use voice control or Braille interfaces, an internal navigation menu is available at the very beginning of each page. It includes a link to English and Spanish language versions, a link to the “accessibility” space of the site, and a link to the research page.
Navigation menus
The principal navigation menu allows one to explore the site more easily. It holds all the links to the principal sections of the site.
The section menu shows all the subheadings for the selected heading.
Breadcrumbs
Systematically located at the top of the page, these allow you to locate where you are in the site, to see the path you have followed to arrive there and to go back, if necessary.
Foot of the page
The foot of the page, at the very bottom, allows direct access to the headings: the public establishment page, the public sales pages, the use conditions page, the page to write us, the site map page, the link to this page and the credits.
Logo at the top of the page
The logo of the musée du quai Branly allows one to return to the home page of the site.
Link to return to the top of the page
Some pages of the site exceed 3 1024 screen (AccessiWeb 13.13 criterion), this is why these pages systematically have “return to the top of the page” links facilitating internal navigation.
